My idea of a proper revolver has always been a blued 4" .357 Magnum. I traded in a faceless plastic pistol on this new GP-100 yesterday, my very first revolver. I'm not sure I'll get any more, but I'll have this one forever for those particularly aggressive water jugs.:D

You're going to love it. I've got the same gun It's nice to be able to change out the front sight for easily and if you want to dress it up you can get the old Letts style grips with a large variety of wood inserts. I just got the Altamont checkered inserts for my 5 inch GP a couple days ago. The inserts alone were $24.

Yes, I agree the front sight arrangement is perfect. I've already fitted a hiviz fiber optic blade. I've also changed the grips to the Hogue without the finger grooves. Another thing that made me choose the GP-100 is it's easy to fit a small rail for a red-dot sight. My eyes aren't what they used to be..

I do like the wood-insert type grips and have contemplated them. Those inserts look great on your gun. I may buy a set yet.

I've only shot about 100 rounds through the gun so far, but I already love it. :thumbup:

Thanks, the grips are so easy to change I just took off what you have on your GP and put the Letts on my 4" blue GP with the Chig's smooth walnut inserts to give you an idea of what they would look like. I also changed to hi-viz front sight. I think I like the feel of the checkered inserts better.

Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but I'm thinking hard about a Taurus Model 65 in stainless steel. Against much advice, a few years ago I bought a Rossi 97104, and after a few teething pains (I had to take the grips off and hose it out with GunScrubber - seemed to have some machining swarf interfering with the cylinder latch), it's turned into a really good revolver.
