UPDATE:
I am now the proud owner of my very first Ruger double action revolver.
I bought a used Ruger GP100. The young man I bought it from claims he only fired l as than 50 rounds through it. He gave me what he had left of his ammo, which is 54 rounds of what appears to be remanufactured.38 Spl ammo. In our conversation he said he only bought 100 rounds of ammo when he got the gun because that was all he could find. I choose to believe him. I am pulling that ammo apart. I don’t trust reman ammo.
I had to drive 86 miles to do the transfer and now my gun is in CA Purgatory for 10 days. I pick it up on Feb. 22. I paid $700 for it. I am happy with the purchase and can’t wait to shoot my new toy.
I know early on in this thread I said I wanted a longer barreled .357, but this thing just spoke to me when I saw the photos.
You did great! I am a long time GP shooter and love design. All of mine have been very accurate, shoot everything, and take serious abuse in the field. Be careful when you take it apart the first time and don't pull the trigger when it is out of the frame or the cylinder latch plunger will go flying!
Post an update once you get some rounds down the pipe.
Congratulation!
