So I went to the range yesterday with my GP100 and new Sig Sauer 938. Second time with the GP100 and first time with the Sig. I put about 100 rounds of 38 Special and 25 rounds of .357 through the GP100 without a problem. First thing I noticed was the last time I shot .357 rounds they were...

So sorry Choirboy..I freaking hate thieves. I hope to God they find your family heirlooms. Regards, MB

Very well said. You see, as a fairly new gun owner at 45 years old, I have yet to be involved in a gunfight or even see one. I am not in LE, and although I was on the Navy Yard when the active shooter went nuts, I was not in that building thank God. Wouldn't matter anyway because the DEMS have...

I agree completely. I love the hogue grips and it makes it feel even more locked into my hand when I shoot it. To each his own I suppose. I agree they aren't as pretty as the wood ones, but at 0130 when someone makes the mistake of entering my house, I am fairly certain he won't worry about how...

We have one of those too. Dog is first notification, followed by me announcing I am armed and taking up a solid choke point location to eliminate any access to my family. There is no way I need to shoot .357 in the house. I have plenty of that ammo for any "other" situation that may arise here...

Well I can speak for .38 special and the rounds are VERY hard to find. I can get them, but not at Wallyworld as they go immediately off the shelves. I live in NoVA, but on travel in Southern VA the supply seems to be better at gun shops but stopped in two wally's and there was ZERO .38 special...

Thanks DPris. This is great info for a new gun owner like me. I had not considered the legal aspects, and certainly I should have considering the result of shooting someone, even if they are in my home. I think it is a crock that I should have to care if someone ever enters my home, but such is...

Well so far you guys (and gal) seem pretty positive about them being effective killing bad guys in my house. I am starting to stock some .357 too just in case DC goes to hell and a handbasket, but think most of the time at the range and in home defense I will be shooting .38 special +p Still...

It is actually Federal 38 Special +P .158 Grain Semi-Wadcutters.. What do you guys think about loading these in my gun for home defense in a Ruger GP100? ..I have heard both good and bad. Thanks for the feedback.

I love .357 rounds too, but just feel more confident inside my home shooting .38+p should that situation ever occur. I will ABSOLUTELY fill one or two of my speed reloaders with .357 should thier use become necessary, and rest assured for every two boxes of .38 +p I buy for my stash, a box of...

This could be long but here are my first impressions. Remember, first gun I have owned. 3" barrel. Summary: Went to the range and waited about 20 minutes to get an open lane. Shot 150 rounds in an hour. - First 50 were FMJ 38 Special. Did pretty good job for a first time shooter with the four...

Hey 6Gun, I respect everyone's opinion here and my guess is I paid a little too much, but not by a lot, and now that I own it and plan on keeping it I am fine with it. I look forward to reporting back to you guys after I put some rounds downrange and think I will become an enthusiast very...

My thoughts exactly. I suppose coming from the classic car community where you can end up paying $500 for a simple clip, if I paid $50 too much for this I will still be able to sleep at night. To all you guys saying I can buy it new for the same price, read my other post. It really is "new". It...

Got it. The serial # not even listed on the Ruger site yet. It is essentially brand new. Bumped into a guy at the shop that said he knows the guy that owned the gun and consigned it and he wanted 4" barrels so he only put like 10 rounds through the gun and turned around and consigned them to...

It's black rubber grips....thanks to all of you guys for your input. The links hittman gave me look good, and they are all about the same price and they are new, but I understand there is at least a $50 total fee for shipping to an authorized dealer plus the shipping costs themselves, so now...
