I'm a big fan of the GP100. It may be my all time favorite .357 revolver. At one time I owned my 4" underlug and a 4" S&W 586 at the same time. Shot them both for a while and decided I liked the way the Ruger balanced better in my hand.

I bough my first (4" full underlug) @10 years ago at a pawn shop on my birthday for $214 out the door. I've shot it a good bit and actually sold it to my Moms boyfriend @tax time. He wouldn't sell it back to me would only trade. It took me a while, but I eventually found a good used one for @$35o at a show an bought it and promptly traded him back for "my" GP 100. So it's a keeper.

Since then, I've owned the 3" Wiley Clapp. While I liked it, I still preferred my 4". Ended up trading it and a good bit of cash for a Redhawk in 45ACP/Colt, but that's another thread:) Now I've got a Match Champion and it's a nice gun, but I'm thinking I still prefer the balance of that 4" full lug barrel. However, now they have the 2" model out. Dang it...

I'll probably end up selling or trading the Match Champion for another GP100, probably the 22LR one this time, LOL.

Just thought I'd share. I'm missing it, it's away at the shop right now getting work done for a hammer that's rubbing and causing light strikes.
