Thanks for all the kind remarks. Yes, she plans to get out, and shoot at least a couple times a month to stay proficient. I don't think she's too interested in shooting competitively. At least not now. However, she did spend the whole night talking about it, and was very excited about all the...

Actually, she did start with the instructors 22lr Ruger Bearcat. Then, she moved up to the Buckmark to see the difference in how a semi-auto works. Then, she got a crack at her friends CZ-75 with a 22 conversion kit. The final stage was moving the targets back a few more yards, and getting used...

As I have stated in a few other threads, after about 20 years, I finally got around to buying the revolver I have always wanted. A Stainless 5" Ruger GP100, with deluxe rosewood grips. Gave it a trigger job, and a set of Wolf springs, 10# hammer, and 8# trigger. Thing is, even though I have...

Yeah, it's kind of funny though. I have seen bored out 6-shot cylinders, and the amount of metal between the chambers seems to be more than adequate, so I'm not really sure what the problem would be. I mean, the GP is about as stout a frame as you can get in a medium size. Heck, the bridge alone...

AAUUGGHHHH!!!!! I so wish my 5" GP100 frame/cylinder was strong enough to run the full power "10mm Magnum".

Well, I thought I'd update this. I got an email back from Clements. So, for those who may have been wondering, he said that the 10mm Magnum is too much cartridge, and should only be shot in large framed guns. Kind of a head scratcher to me, since the GP100 frame is so beefy, but if that's the...

I emailed Clements to clarify, but thought maybe someone on here might know, or chime in concerning the 10mm conversion capabilities of the 6-shot GP100. I noticed Starline sells 10mm Magnum brass, which is slightly longer than 10mm Auto. Technically it is short enough (shorter than 357) to fit...

Update: Well, I just got a 1.75" Blade-Tech Looper belt. I know it is only cowhide, but it's reinforced with Kydex for extra stiffness. Not as nice a full Bull hide belt, but is a very nice daily wear belt, imo. I like the basic square brass buckle, and the stiffness is just about perfect for...

So, what's the plan for Ruger to keep making the 5" GP100? I've wanted a GP100 for over a decade, so I finally broke down and bought one. Gotta admit, it would be neat for this one to turn out being a collector someday. As it is now, the market is flooded with them, mainly in 4 & 6 inchers...

Yes, I actually just got a Blade Tech holster for the range matches, but wanted something that holds and protects it better. Something that would help against abrasions when traversing heavy brush, etc. I figure, it would be a good sidearm for my fishing/hiking trips, etc. Sometimes I go off the...

As I peruse Ebay looking for an adequate holster for my new GP100, I have 2 problems. 1. I need a holster for a 5" barrel. Such a venture is not unlike trying to find a 5-leaf clover. 2. I need a holster that can withstand very wet weather, and not be ruined by the rain we get up here. All...

Hi, I'd like to kick off my first post with a question about belts for my new Ruger GP100 5". I was wondering if you could give me some advice. I am looking for a nice daily belt, but also want to be able to use it for weekly use as a gun belt for OWB matches. I was looking at Daltech BULL...
