A S&W purist tries a Ruger GP100

Oh my goodness, thank you for the kind replies. As for a quick update, I still have the GP100, and my youngest child (featured in post #1) started High School this week

I am a Ruger fan. I love my S&W revolvers, but love both my DA and SA Ruger Revolvers. I have to echo the comments about changing out the springs.

But I AM a little biased.

As for Bill Ruger and his comment about the AWB. Get over it 'ya crybaby. He is DEAD. Why hold his comments against the hundreds of AMERICANS who work at the Ruger plants?

Now that's a beautiful collection of revolvers.

Wow, this thread has some lifespan!

Hey Dragonfly,
I like that your daughter decorated her Henry with the decals. I hope she's kept it!
By the way, my folks live in Hammonds Plains, NS. I keep asking them to find a place to shoot so I've got something to do when I go in the summers. They still have a couple old Cooeys, but they just sit in the safe. Alas, no GP100s (or "grandfathered" J-frames!).
Well, at least I get to kayak on their lake, with a couple beavers and, yes..... dragonflies!

Best Regards,
Jim

They grow fast don't they.

It's s shame you're in Canada because the 3" GP100 is a nice model. I'm a big fan of the short grips that used to come standard on the 3" version. It also works well on the full sized model. At least if you have smallish hands like me.
