Need an Intervention

[motorcyclejoe]

Now that I have 5 M&Ps (FS, 9c, Shield, 22FS, 22c) and 4 1911s, I just decided I must purchase a Ruger GP100 Wiley Clapp, 357. I just purchased the 22c last month. Suddenly this weekend I became overwhelmed with the need for a GP100. I managed to resist yesterday, but I don't think I'm going to make it through the night.

Please help. I do not need a wheel gun. I do not need a blued, absolutely beautiful, melted GP100 with rosewood inserts. I do not need a limited edition revolver that will not be available if I fail to act now.

HELP!!!!

Don't fight it man you do need that GP-100 I love mine. Don

Sorry, no help here. I have an older GP100 with a 4" barrel. I used it to get Distinguished Graduate at a firearms school recently. Great little gun.

I think S&W revolvers have a better trigger and I want a 625 or 627 real bad. So, sorry. No help from me.

However, I do have a question, why don't you have an M&P 45 yet? Your collection is lacking.

Post pics when you get it home tonight!

GP's are awesome. I love the one I got a few weeks ago, and bought it in a sudden moment of weakness just like you're experiencing. I've always wanted a 3" stainless GP...it's in .38 spl but that's OK. Not a Wiley version but it has the 3" bbl and adjustable sights. Just to give you something to drool over:

The GP100 is a good gun, but check out an old 586 or 686 and you might change your mind on what .357 mag you really want.


Hey, this is the S&W forum after all.

Gaze at this for a few minutes. You still may not need a revolver but it may help with the GP100 cravings.

Too late. The deed is done. All is right with the world. Put my order in at 4am this morning. Ordered some speed loaders this afternoon. I am at peace. Hopefully I'll be picking up the new baby at the LGS this weekend.

This is absolutely the last gun I'm going to buy ---- this week! Seriously - anybody want to start a Gun Buyers Anonymous 12 step group. This has got to stop. Please tell me it is possible to own only one revolver. Please tell me I don't need a collection of revolvers to go along with my M&P and 1911 collections. Please......

Sorry but YES YOU DO!!

I know we're in the M&P forum and I love my 3 amigos (FS9, 9C and Shield 9) but I dig my 4" SS GP100 too.

Okay sorry for the Python picture , Ruger makes super strong and rugged revolvers that do exactly what they are supposed to. I'm just a Colt / S&W fan.

But that said, any wheel gun lover ought to own a Python. Just saying...

 

[ca survivor]

of course you don't need one, unless you have a boat and no anchor.

I have my eye on one on consignment at my range. The owner wanted $1500 but the manager told him they could bet $2500 so there went my purchase. Bought the guys GP-100.

I'm a huge S&W revolver fan and own more than a few but a can't bring myself to part with my GP100. I think you'll like yours too.

Go to the liquor store and ask them if you have a drinking problem. Good thinking Joe.
You don't want help. You want enabling.

I am a long time S&W admirer, have owned many, began my law enforcement career with a Model 10. Now I own, in addition to a Shield, a GP100 Match Champion 4". Definite keeper.

Wheel guns are real guns lol.

This forum is absolutely no help when gun purchase intervention is required.

Resistance is futile
