    Future GP100 offerings?

    I agree that the 3" barreled 44 Special GP should be offered in a fixed-sight offering. Any handloader worth his salt should be able to tailor a load to shoot to POA/POI. I have always assumed (and this includes myself) the 44 SPL crowd to be of the "roll-yer-own" variety anyway!

    New - Ruger #5058 -- Full Lug 4" Redhawk, 44 Mag

    I like it! I may just like it more with a 1/2 or 3/4 length lug also.

    COATED BULLETS AND RELOADING DATA

    I push my B&B Bullets 158 gn SWC in 357 Mag at true magnum velocity, and my Kootenai Cartridge coated hardcast 180 gn in 10mm at full power and have not had a bit of a problem. In 44 I'll do a 240 gn coated over H-110 @ 1275 fps all day long and not give my barrel a second thought. They just...

    How does one fit a grip frame?

    I just fit a birdshead to my SBH. It took way longer than expected.

    Factory Grips

    Altamont Company would also be my guess concerning which vendor is making their grips.

    GP-100 Mainspring Replacement Experience

    I prefer factory springs myself. CCI primers and lighter springs spelling unreliability for me.

    What is the appeal of single action revolvers?

    For teaching new shooters I always start with a SA revolver. It's simpler to teach, and once cocked and fired it has, by design, rendered itself "safe" until deliberately cocked by the user. A Beautiful albeit underrated feature imho.

    How is black Chromex different from blueing?

    Now I have to know how he messed up breakfast and exposed his lunatic to you!

    Match Champion Sights

    Beings every Ruger I have or had in the past have all been adjustable sight models I would be tempted to get the fixed sight version. I would then tailor a load to that particular gun.

    Big Iron

    Marty Robbins has a great history in music. More acknowledgment should be passed his way.

    .454 with wood grips...ouch!

    John McClane once walked barefoot over broken glass during a fight with terrorists... Him's a wimp compared to you shooting 93 rounds of .454 in a single session! Wow!

    Uneven forcing cone?

    True enough; At this point the accuracy potential/question is hypothetical, but a new product should be delivered to the consumer at its best. This example, clearly, is not at Ruger's best. Therefore I feel that this is a big problem. I wouldn't think it to be ok to buy a new car just to drive...
