Debating - keep my GP100 or let it go.....

[elkhuntingfool]

I just picked up a GP100 and while I do enjoy shooting it - I'm really liking my autoloaders just a lot more. I've talked to a few friends about my dilema and they think I'm crazy for wanting to part with it.

I don't and won't carry it for concealed purposes - way to bulky and heavy. The only times it will come out are for the range and for hunting. I bow hunt and it would work well with a shoulder holster.

Ah - the dilema!!!! :banghead::banghead::banghead:

 

[messerist]

Step away from the gun!!!! Don't do it! I did several years ago and have regretted it ever since. My Brother kept his and loves shooting it. Unless you need the cash for a kidney transplant, keep it!

 

[ClemY]

I don't believe in selling or trading guns. I hear too many stories of seller's remorse. Besides, I really like the GP-100. Don't sell it!

 

[Glockman17366]

You just bought it...and now you want to sell? Sounds like an impulse buy you are regreting. Bad move...you'll take a hit on the price.

If I were you, I'd keep that Ruger for 6 months, minimum. If it hasn't grown on you in that time...sell or trade.

 

[WardenWolf]

The GP-100 is one of the better revolvers. I'd recommend keeping it as a backup, if nothing else.

 

[nachosgrande]

Is there something else in that price range that you want to replace it with? I'm not going to inquire about your financial situation, but I'm primarily an auto guy and would still never part with mine. There's just something special about it, something comforting about it's simplicity. It may not have a 15 round magazine, but it's the only thing I own that I would describe as perfect.

Keep it and save up for another bottom feeder. You will regret selling it later on. Take it out, warm it up, and show it some love. It will grow on you. If nothing else, they make great headboard guns. Don't sell it, it breaks my heart to see one beong sold when I can't buy it.

 

[BigBlock]

You will regret selling it, I can guarantee you that.

 

[feudalson]

i would post it for sell and see what kinda prices you could bring in... prolly get enough to buy a new auto

 

[john1911]

If you don't like, sell it. You will lose a little on the price, but why have a gun you won't use?

I've bought, sold and traded several guns over the past years, I really don't regret any I've let go.

 

[elkhuntingfool]

It's not a money issue - just have shot autoloaders for many many years - okay - 35+ - started with a 1911 and have been hooked!!!

I'll give it some more time. Wasn't too much of an impulse buy - bought it from a friend who needed the money.

OO throw that old piece of iron over here ill take it and be on my way how much?

elkhuntingfool,

My advise is "keep it". Right now you have no need or purpose for it, but that could change at any moment.

Besides the .357 Remington Magnum is an outstanding cartridge. Also, you can shoot .38 Remington Special through it and never wear that gun out.

However, I'd be interested in getting it if you are going to sell it. What's the barrel and shroud length?

 

[30mag]

Keep.

 

[elkhuntingfool]

4" barrel. Rarely shot - I can find a scratch on it.

 

[little miss]

what state u in?

 

[goodtime]

Keep the gun, you fool!

 

[elkhuntingfool]

what state u in?

I'm in Utah.

 

[KevininPa]

I always used to think about .......

.......selling a S&W 686. Never did. Was always glad I didn't. I always end up going back to the basic revolver for a change in pace. It's always my camping firearm. GPs are really nice. I'd think this through more.

 

[MDG1976]

Did Wyatt Earp carry a revolver or an autoloader? What did Dirty Harry carry? How about Sledge Hammer?

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

I sold my first gp100 and have been kicking myself ever since.

I'd say keep it and just save up for that next semi auto

and little miss bada$$, please stop tempting him into letting a good gun go....

 

[elkhuntingfool]

wyatt earp? If the 1911 was around - he'd have carried it

I hear ya!

 

[goon]

I've sold lots of guns and I don't regret selling an awful lot of them, so I'm not one of those guys who would say to never sell one.
But I would keep the GP-100 for a little while.

Nugilum-


Remington did not develop the .357 Magnum. It was Winchester that worked with S&W for that purpose.

However, this cartridge does not carry any brand name.
