Saw this on GunsAmerica this morning: http://www.gunsamerica.com//977858080/Guns/Pistols/Ruger-Double-Action-Revolver/Security-Six-Type/RUGER_GP100_SS_357MAG_6_BX_SIGNED.htm?wl=1# Goes without saying that this is a nice gun, does the signature add anything? I'm not a collector...just curious.

Halfway through my first box of ammo with my new 2.25" Sp101 I went to the counter of the gunshop/range I frequent and bought a Hogue Monogrip. 500% improvement.

I forgot this thread after I got my answer. It just popped up in email notices today, so as not to be rude to blume357: My other choice was a completely different type of rifle - a Marlin 1895. Went that way and my new 1895GS is in the hands of UPS on the way to my FFL guy as I type. 8)

I have found the 158 gr 357s and 38s are the ideal bullet for this gun, My GP100 is not nearly as sensitive as the smaller revolver.

Frank: Now that version is very cool, the Davidson's one just looks tacky.

I saw an AMG Kia yesterday. Had the same reaction to this. Why????

flatgate: That's one thing I figured out right away when I got the revolver. Still haven't made the decision on shooting vs collecting this particular one. I realize that all the logic and emotion are on the side of shooting it, but there's no hurry. Have plenty of other projects etc on the...

This month's favorite - new model blackhawk in 327 mag: Just an excuse to post a picture - :D

Happened on this thread last night while I was doing research on these types of Rugers because I stumbled on one, half-hidden under a jumble of beater type guns in the most out-of-the-way case in a LGS. Could only see the grips. Anyway... it's a 1981 Police Service Six, blue 4" barrel in...

I mix and match several types of 38's, 38+ps and 357s. But I can say that my 2.25" SP101 is most accurate with 158gr 357s.

A nice warm Stoeger Coach Gun in 12 guage. Pretty much lives in the closet; if it comes out of the closet, there's bad doo-doo happening close by. I do believe the barrels are 20"

"Get thee behind me Satan" Yes, and then someone is going to bring up the 50th SuperBH. You're all a bunch of enablers. Meanwhile, I got bitten by the 1911 bug this year, with all the writing about these types of pistols and was doing fine concentrating on revolvers and Marlin lever guns...
