What about bobbing a SR and only leaving enough barrel to machine into a threaded barrel end? Then you could screw on a "flash suppressor" (or whatever) to make the min 5.5" barrel length for regulation hunting, and the rest of the time have a short barreled, clean looking "Alaskan".

Looks good! I'm another one who conceal carries his 4" GP100 everyday. A good belt, and good holster is what it takes (I use a Simply Rugged Pancake with IWB straps) . That, and dress appropriately. Of course for the occasional situation where extra discretion is necessary, I just "borrow"...

Congrats on your GP100. :) I haven't read every post in this thread, but just so you know, you can still find the old-style rubber grips with the inserts. Ruger sells them, as well as Midway and I'm sure others. Last year I bought the compact grips and plastic inserts from Midway and put...

Thanks for the replies. Searching online I cannot find a single mention of a 2 14" barreled .327, so I'm going to chalk this up to hearsay until further notice. Honestly I'd be more interested in an LCR version of the .327 anyway. Regardless, I did find a 3" SP101 in stock locally that I...

Today I called my local gunshop about getting a .327 SP101. While on the phone, he told me he recently attended a SHOT show a few months back and the Ruger rep let him see and handle a 2 1/4" SP101 chambered in .327 Federal. :D As of today he said nothing was showing up from any of his...

The original grip locator is an aluminum plug, it is just under the diameter of the hole in your gun's frame for a snug press fit, and is only as wide as the inside of the rubber grips. If you have easy access to the correct size aluminum dowel it would probably be very easy to make one...

I believe Altamont makes the Talo grips. Nothing exactly like them listed on their website, but it may be worthwhile to contact them directly. Never hurts to ask. I put their ivory scrimshawed grips on my wife's SP101, good folks to deal with, good prices, and they do beautiful work...

I have one of those revolvers in .32 caliber, belonged to my late uncle. My revolver dates around 1900, so that ad should be around the turn of the century. Here's the "trigger locking device", long before Glocks or SR9 came on the scene: Interesting how times and attitudes have...

Are you talking about the smaller grips with panels? You can get the parts from Midway. Here are the grip panels for the GP100 "compact grip", which are simply SP101 panels: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productnumber=762386 You'll also want the grip screw...

If you're wanting the original style grip, you can indeed buy new. This thread has several links and part numbers. http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=95694&highlight=&sid=3bb8dae2a97fbda6888492dd50c55231

A few years ago we went through a "Loctite seminar" at work (one of my various "hats" is an industrial electrician). I would not use loctite red on anything on firearm maintenance. Think of this as very permanent, more for press fit parts and studs. Loctite blue is the go to stuff for general...

Actually, the trigger safety predates the Glock pistol by many decades. For example check out the trigger on my c. 1900 .32 caliber Iver Johnson's Arms and Cycle Works revolver.
