gp100 ?

[bisley480]

How rare are the GP100 chambered in 44 spl to come across? Just wondering saw one at a gun show yesterday and wondering if I should run back up there and snag it,
they are asking 950.00 seems high to me let me know what you all think.

It depends on which model it is, I know the Jeff Quinn models are priced higher; after the added state extortion fees on top of regular tax that's collected here in Colorado I ended up paying ~ $850 for mine (5" barrel), but it shoots wonderfully and I'm having a ball developing loads for it!

950.00 seems high

This sounds logical.
People who already own one will disagree.

I tend to favor a 4” stainless gun but that 5” blued version above is simply beautiful in my opinion. The proportions seem just right and that solid cylinder is the finishing touch.

I learned long ago; "You don't pay too much,, but maybe a bit too soon." And by looking at something I want,, I can often justify the expense by saying; "Will I be able to find it later AND for less money?"

Especially when I find a gun that by all appearances will be highly sought after by many, I figure; "Get it now before they are gone!"

I hope we hear whether the revolver in question is a 5 inch bbl model or not. I just absolutely love my stainless steel 5 inch GP100 in .357 caliber and I would love the one in question if it were a 5 inch bbl model.

Well I couldn't stand it so I took a gun that I really dislike a lot (beretta 25 acp and did some trading) got it for 725.00 and the trade-in. come to find out this might be a Lipsey's exclusive. Can anyone confirm this ?

 

[hittman]

Can anyone confirm this ?

Probably not without the serial number and/or picture of the end label on the box.

I believe all the 5" .44 GP-100s were Lipsey's guns. Ruger wasn't making regular production blued GPs at the time they came out.

Glad you went back for it. We have all heard of buyer's remorse and seller's remorse, but I've been afflicted more by "could've, should've, would've" remorse for not jumping on something that soon became scarce.

You mean like the Mini 14 I passed on because of that oddball caliber 222?
Granted this was 20 years ago and they’d marked it down to $400 and still I passed.

They bring a premium here in Missouri. The GP100 is one of the finest revolvers ever made.

Or the 10/22 in .22Mag that I passed up 12 years ago because I was looking for a 10/22 in .22LR and wasn't sure I wanted to drop $175 on a rifle that I had no ammo for? 3 days later, after learning about them I went back and asked about it. Turns out they put it out for sale the day i was there and it sold that afternoon.

Not sure about the half lugs but the 5" full lugs are Lipsey's. I picked mine up when they first came out, believe I gave around $800 for it. It is one of my favorite revolvers to shoot.
