A 5-shot .41 Magnum GP-100

[Jimbo357mag]

I'm hoping and waiting for Ruger to come out with a 5-shot GP-100 in .41 Magnum.
Judging by some of the other guns they have made if enough people say they want one they just might make it. :D

Now that would be interesting!

Now this would be a loading that would definitely spark my interest.

Are we sure they can't squeeze SIX rounds of 41 into a GP cylinder?

I like 41 Mag too ...... generally don't buy new guns but I'd at least look at one of these.

 

[WIL TERRY]

Get 5M orders all up and paid for and they'll start in a week or so on your GP100 41 Lil hearts desire...
And so it goes...

We know Ruger likes to be super safe with their designs.

I don't think the cylinder is big enough to take 6 rounds of mag but may take 6 rounds of .41 Special. Right now Gary Reeder is doing conversions of existing GPs to .41 mags:

Pretty hard to sell .41 magnums. I don't see them getting enough interest based on the slow sales of any .41 mags. It would be a nice gun though.

Never understood that, really love the 41 mag, middle ground you might say. ps

10 MM Auto, 3" barrel, milled to take Moonclips. TD

Tinker Dave has it. 10mm/40 s&w

I will third TinkerDave's 10mm/40 S&W suggestion.
A 3" Adjustable Sight GP100 would do it for me. We need a replacement for the S&W 646 that has been discontinued for several years. I would like to see a 3", a 4.2", as well as 6" GP100's in 10mm/40 S&W offered. This would also scratch the itch for those wanting a S&W 610 who do not want to spend 4 figures for one when they can be found for sale.

I would be ALL OVER a 4 or 5 inch 10mm GP100.

Do you think this maybe due to the fact that they never come out in the right gun? They are based on a oversized 44 magnum frame, two barrel lengths only, single action only, and blued, no stainless. I kind of like my guns portioned to the caliber, stainless, 5 to 6 inch barrel, 5 1/2 is great, and double action. For the last how many years it has always been the same two guns are you only choice.

Jim: I'd be all over a 41 magnum GP100. It's a fun caliber.

 

[Jimbo357mag]

Seems like we might have two dark horses in the race for the next GP-100. The .41 Magnum and the 10mm/40 S&W.
May the best gun win. :D
