What are the pros and cons of the Ruger GP-100

[Rexster]

Pros should carry the GP100. Cons should not carry any firearm.

As for resale value, if I own the weapon in question, that is irrelevant! Except for pieces with historical value, no handgun is a good long-term investment. Moreover, I am keeping all of my GP100s! If I want to buy a good pre-owned revolver, lower resale value is a GOOD thing, as that means I get more value for my money.

I love my 4", fixed sight GP100. Other come and go but one of my kids will likely end with this one.

Just ordered one for my GP100.

This site is just great for separating me from my money...

But it's all good...

Pros: heavy, built like a tank, accurate. Little or no recoil with light loads.
Cons: heavy. My .357 4 incher came with interchangeable plastic front sights. They kept leaving the gun, never to be found. Before I lost the only one left, I ordered a metal sight. No problem since.
P.S. On a whim to further reduce muzzle flip with heavy loads, I had mine MagNaPorted. Very little to no flip with any loads I use.
