Might have to break down and get that GP100...

[444]

I have already told you what I think of the GP100 in another thread.
I just wanted to add that my trigger is very good. Single action isn't up to the S&W custom shop guns I own, but definitely up to some of the box stock Smiths I also own. On double action it is as good or better than anything I own. I LOVE the double action pull on my GP100. I can shoot very nearly as well double action as I can single action with my GP.

I don't think my GP 100 has ever had a .38 Special load through it, or a factory load. Wait, I am lying, I chonoed some loads last week and a couple were .38s. It has had many, many loads that were at the book max.

Gp-100's...

are excellent six-shooters.

I've got the 3" .357 CAI version like another fella in this thread, and mine has shot so well I'd not swap it for a 4" adjustable version.

Both loads are JHP's over whatever Hodgdon's said was the max of HS-6; 125 grain highlighted in yellow, 158's in blue. Range was 25 yards from an improvised rest (range bag).

Strong, accurate, and you can customize them if you like.

The cor-bon bullets are NOT the same
Nightcrawler, the bullets that you mentioned are NOT the same. The 200 grain bullet for .45 Colt is a JHP for self defense while the 200 grain bullet for .357 Magnum is of the Hard Cast flavor. The .45 Colt bullet will probably expand to like .7" + while the .357 Magnum bullet will be .357" in and out.

Yup. Those 200 gr. Cor-bons are for maximum penetration. And they have a much higher sectional density than a 200 grain .452" bullet. Indeed, they have among the highest SD's of any handgun bullet this side of the heavy .454 bullets. I use them for backup bear defense. They will cut through several spruce trees in a row. They'd sure as hell not do any favors for a two-legged foe, but you'd prob. be better off with some flat-nosed SP's in a lower weight.

nice worK! I especially like the front sight; removed the serrations on mine and put on a 400 grit finish before blackening, resulted in a little shallower silhouette too, much better then factory original.

How did you remove the toolmarks in the cylinder flutes before polishing?

Do you like the factory grip for precision shooting?
