Earlier this week, I picked up a stainless 4-inch Ruger GP-100 at a local gun store and as I said in another post, it felt like a boat anchor. As an owner of a number of stainless Ruger Security-Sixes (many of which have never been fired), I couldn't believe that anyone, given the choice, would ever prefer the GP-100, especially in 6-inch barrels!
The gun at the shop was being sold for $680 and tax ($720.80). The first thing I wondered was, how much would a NEW stainless steel Security-Six 4-inch sell for in today's market? And two, how many people would pick a GP-100 over a Security-Six if they were both new, both stainless, and both 4-inchers?
No, I'm not selling mine; I'm just wondering.
The GP-100 is about 40 ounces, unloaded. I know the prices are increasing on all guns, but I couldn't believe how much heavier the GP-100 was than my Security-Six.
So what's your take?
