GP100 Perfection

[Sgt405]

Had the WC GP100 for some time and loved the features but hated the large grips. I kept searching for the old compact model ones and after several months finally found them. Now it's what I consider a perfect carry/fighting revolver.

Congrats on finding grips to fit YOUR hands. It is important on any gun you enjoy. A proper set of grips makes all the difference in the world!

I saw one of those Wiley Clapp GP100s they are very nice looking revolvers.

Are the compact grips not easy to find?

 

[Chuck 100 yd]

Very nice!! I am one of those guys who like the factory Hogue grips.
I am glad you found a set that fit YOU.

I switched grips on my GP100 also. Like the feel and looks better. Got my grips on eBay.

The smaller gun is a S&W 642.

Nice guns all around! I have a 642, great little pocket rocket. That WC GP is sweet for sure.

My 442 is my BUG on duty. I just love revolvers and the GP100 WC to me is one of the best. I carry it off duty. The compact grips not only fit my hand but they conceal better.

Yep those "fixed sight grips" are the best fit for the 4 inch barrel and shorter gp100's. nice look on the WC.

Nice Ruger, but I am in love with 3 inchers. Best all around carry length.

Nothing wrong with a little grip swap to try out for a better feel. Just picked up my first GP100 today, blue with a 4" barrel. Superior construction of a revolver. After cleaning and a little Rem Oil, mechanism is very smooth. Can't wait for the range. The only thing I would ever try different is a grip. That is, after I put a little practice in with what it came with first. Excellent looking guns in all those pics. Brad

I put the fixed sight compact grips on my 6" half lug GP-100 because they just work better for me.
(SP-101 black inserts kind of give it a 'business' look, I think).



If I can latch on to one of the new 'competition models', the first thing I'll do is put the old style compact grips on it. :shock:
