Last year I purchased two of the GP100s 3" chambered in .38 Special. As posted earlier, my sister "borrowed" one (permanently it appears) so I was looking for a second one for myself. There weren't any NIB available that were priced the same or lower than I bought before so I never got the second one for myself. It was reported there were only 20 of them to begin with.
This week I took delivery of another one offered by Davidson's (the two previous ones were from Davidson's also). It cost me less than my first ones and they had 99+ available.
What I thought was interesting is the my first two purchased last year were dated November 2012 and the one I just got is dated July 2012......an earlier date. I don't know where Davidson's got the first 20 and why now they have a bunch of models that are dated prior to the 20 they first sold. Guess they were laying around and someone finally wanted to sell their surplus??
Anyway, I put on the HiViz sights like my other one has and full size Lett style grips. I keep these as "house" guns along with semiautos at the front and rear of my house.
I use Buffalo Bore ammo.....really like the heft of these revolvers and wanted my revolvers chambered for .38 special (I never shoot 357 mag) so these fit the bill. Big and heavy for a .38 spcl but it works for me.
I paid a premium for a compact set of grips but the gun balances better for me with the larger grips so I'm going to put the larger grips back on my other GP100 also. Some say the fullsize grips look too large but in my opinion they look better than the fingergroove grips that come on them. Plus fingergroove grips never fit my fingers right for some reason.
Bottom line........I really like these revolvers.
