Would you trade a Ruger SR 1911 for a Ruger GP 100 .357 Mag?

H@!! no not for what used GP100s sell for around here. Seen them as low as $350 in the local pawn/gun shop. Used SRs still bring $500 plus.

I did trade my SR1911 CMD to a GP100 Match Champion. The only fault I had with the SR1911 is the lack of front strap serrations. It was a great and reliable sidearm but I have higher end 1911s that I probably enjoy shooting more and I have wanted a GP100 MC ever since they can out. Both are great guns IMO but I wouldn't trade unless you THINK you have a different need or you are ready to try something different.

Life is choices and experiences. Don't worry about being the deal if that is what you want. They are comparable in value.

In a heartbeat ! Have both, my gp100 is one sweet gun, while my SR1911 (target model) has been nothing but problems - before I finished my first magazine the safety (right side ambi) fell off. I have an AMT hardballer that is more dependable than my SR1911.

Sort of what you want. Have both although my GP100 is an early 6 inch. Under the best of conditions it is a shooting buddy and you can both go to a range and shoot both guns before you decide on a trade and $$ (if any).
