Wiley Clapp II 357 Mag
Wiley Clapp II 357 Mag
Considering these inserts were $35 from Chig's Grips, I see no reason not to change themSeems like every picture I see of a GP-100, the grips have been changed.
Did you put a lighter hammer spring in, or just polish things up?Congratulatios. I have a 6" GP100 357 mag which i absolutely love. I also ended up lightning up the trigger.
What is the trigger pull for for GP100 in both dual action and also in single action in pounds? I purchased a Ruger GP100 during COVID and have shot it once since receiving it. My shooting range is outdoors, and I shoot either at 25 yards or 50. The pull did not ssem hard in either situation, although it is nothing like the trigger pull on my 1965 Ruger 6.5" Blackhawk. Of course, this is a SA revolver, but the trigger pull on this is leass than 1 pound!Congratulatios. I have a 6" GP100 357 mag which i absolutely love. I also ended up lightning up the trigger.
At what distance were you shooting to get these results? And were you standing, holding the gun in your hand (or hands - I shoot with my arm extended all the way, and long the gun in just the extended hand), or did you rest the gun on something rigid? I am new to double action, so perhaps I should be shooting double handed right in front of me?
Two hands, standing, red dot, 15 yards, double action, weak hand. Had to start using my right hand a 63 because my left shoulder is beyond repair. (left handed by nature) I dry fire everyday of the week try to shoot between 200 and 300 rounds every week too. Finished 2022 shooting 11,809 rounds. Almost all of it with a GP100. Now at 65 I try to practice as much as I did at 35.At what distance were you shooting to get these results?

Everyone has different experiences; the first S&W I fired was a K-22 with those little grips; did not like it. But my old man had a 1955 NIB Python and I didn't like it ether. Pickup a GP100 in 1989 it was true love a first touch. Picked up 4 more after that one.I'm a late comer to the GP100 World, having acquired my first one just a couple years ago. Mine is a 10mm MC. And yes, I have tried different grips and front sights on mine.
I like the GP100. I wouldn't want it to get around on a Ruger forum though, that my favorite revolver in a similar size might just be the S&W 686;-)
Like carrying a boat anchor in your pants.I carried a 6" full rib GP100 for a while when there was a known presence of a large predator in the area. It's a great shooting handgun good as far as the shooter is capable but just too heavy for constant everyday carry.
What are "MC" guns?"Seems like every picture I see of a GP-100, the grips have been changed."
My GP-100's wear the grips that came with them. Mine are the MC guns & love the factory grips.
