| This weapon is fully responsible for my love of guns. It was my first weapon and as a result it is my favorite. The GP100 is a powerhouse of a revolver, with capacity to carry six devastating .357 magnum shells. It is also capable of firing .38's, which saves money at the range. |
Weighing in at 40oz unloaded, it is rather heavy, and extended firing will tire even the strongest arms. The shortest barrel option, 4", also prevents effective concealed carry.
For a vehicle weapon, home defense, or a trail gun, the GP100 is an excellent choice. It packs enough power to put down some of the largest wild critters and the most persistent of attackers. The front ramp sight is fixed but easily replaceable. I replaced both my front and rear sights with Tritium night sights. The rear sight is fully adjustable by turning one of two small screws.
This weapon is as solidly constructed as it is beautiful. The GP100 is available with a 3", 4", or 6" barrel and a blued or satin stainless finish. The black rubber hogue that comes stock is very comfortable but can be easily replaced.
Trigger pull in double action is extremely smooth with a small catch that can be felt before the hammer falls. Single action firing is hair trigger. Although it has no capacity to employ other hardware without gunsmithing, there is plenty of frame to work with in that regard and the weapon can be set up with a scope or light. There is also a laser hogue grip available. The weapon is extremely simple and fast to clean and has been a joy to own and fire.
I rate this gun a 4/5 and highly recommend it.
