My new wheelgun

I picked up a new pistola yesterday: 6" Ruger GP100, .357. Haven't shot it yet but when I take it out I'll be sure to get some pictures up. It's a little bigger than I was really looking for but it feels very well balanced and fits my hand almost perfect

I have the same gun in stainless it is a great hunting gun it is a little heavy for a concealed the gun loves heavy loads.
The only problim you will find is the front blade is a little on the wide side i found that the front blade covers vitals when it is awaysout there.
have the blade chaged to a nice fiber optic orkeep your shots close.

I have one in stainless and it is as accurate a revolver as you will ever find. Solid as a rock too. If you should run outa ammo while fighting a rabid rhino you can even use it to beat the rhino to death with afterwards.

It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004

I had the same one in 4" a while back but had to sell it before heading to Korea. I loved it and hated to part with it but it had to be done. I'm sure I won't have any regrets with this one
