I mentioned my new GP100s in another thread but decided to start one of my own. Last weekend at a local gunshow I picked up a couple of 38 Special GP100s, 3" barrel with adjustable rear sights. These GPs came from Davidsons but they don't show any more in stock. There were a couple for sale on GunBroker but they have been sold. Wasn't much else to choose from at the gunshow other than one S&W 686 Plus. No SP101s or any other GPs.
I liked the looks of the older style grips that I saw in some of the photos on this forum so I ordered a couple of them off ebay. Paid double what Midway sells them for but didn't want to wait for Midway to get any in. They are nice and new and arrived within days of ordering. They sure do feel nice and soft in my hand. I'm going to shoot one GP with the original fingergroove grips and one with the new grips to see which ones I like best. I definitely like the looks of the new grips better than the fingergroove, but I'm not sure why....just a little different shape I guess. If I like the way the new grips feel when shooting I'll change out the grips on my other GP.
I ordered was 1000 rounds of ammo and it arrived this week. :mrgreen: The GPs were a new "caliber" for me so I didn't have a stock of ammo like I do for my other guns. I'll stock up on more ammo once it goes down in price (if and when it does). Haven't decided on which self defense/hollow point ammo I'm going to use but am certainly open to suggestions.
Also have some speed loaders on back order from Ruger.
I'll update this post with a range report in the next couple of weeks. I thought I was going to be able to go to the range this weekend but it's going to have to be postponed. Anyway, here's a couple of quick pictures.
