I wanted a 3" GP, settled for a 4" which is a great gun. Every photo I see of a 3" GP makes me want one that much more. Dealer has my name if one turns up. He (dealer) called 3 or 4 distributors looking for one a couple of months ago - none out there.
I will own a 3"GP one of these days.

I wish someone still made a grip like that for a GP100. New Pachmayr grips just aren't the same. I have a nice set of Pachmayr grippers on a Charter snubbie, and I handled an old Colt Diamondback with something similar. They are near perfect.
Found this on Gunbroker.com tonight.
KGPF-330 Rare short lug. I already have one, see above.

What's the catch?? Oh, I see.... it's a Century Arms "re-import". (but still....)
"Rut",
One of the rare Canadian Police re-import, believed to be the Montreal Police Dept. Most are 4" DAO. In any case, the short lug 3" is uncommon and weighs an oz. or two less. Tread is more about shooters than collectors and this is a decedent price. If folks are really lusting after one, the 'buy now' price is reasonable, in my humble opinion. (I already have one).

I know... I'm surprised it's still there. (if it is) Like you, I already have one, or would have scooped it up myself!

Must. Resist.
I just bought a 5" GP100, and have been thinking I wanted a 3" for carry. But I have a nice pre-lock J-frame .357 (model 60). The GP holds only one more round, and is heavier. But it's a Ruger. Gah.

May I ask who did the removal of the barrel text? It really improves the looks of the gun.
Thanks..SteveK44

I see the one on GunBroker is gone. No surprise.
Here's mine, another CAI re-import. I got it 'cause I loved my SP101 but I needed a 6-shooter for IDPA.
Terry T, where'd you get the info about the Montreal police? It'd be cool to know the history of my gun, but Ruger will only tell you when it was sold, not to whom.

"Patcannon",
Here's a couple of threads.

The key was the holster with the city symbol for Montreal that was included with one gun. The absence of foreign proof marks suggest that they were not sent over seas and yet they were 're-imported' by CAI. (Century Arms)

It remains to find some photos of the Montreal Police Dept. showing the GPs.

Cool, thanks. Mine came with a Safariland holster which I sold, kinda wish I'd examined it in more detail now. It also came with one Safariland Comp II speedloader which didn't work well at all -- I eventually figured out it was the wrong model for the gun.Terry T":1055neyx said:

All the talk about a 3" GP 100, would $560 out the door be reasonable on a brand new one?
It's a 'strong' price but not unreasonable.
It's always worth a couple of extra dollars to help support a local FFL these days.
I've gotten to the point where an extra $50 or so is not enough to make me turn away from a piece that I want. One can look and look and look to save a couple of bucks and then come up short anyway. I'd say, if you want it and have the funds, go for it. They are getting to be a bit hard to find even though they are in the current catalogs.
Just my $0.02 worth.
