Not usually a fan of engraving, but I like this one. Its not overdone, just tasteful.

 

[recumbent]

That's a Talo exclusive.

 

[WAYNO]

Don't normally have much interest in GP100's , but this is an impulse buy that I'll look to satisfy. :mrgreen: It could join my engraved SP101 in the safe.

I've already searched, and I've yet to find one for purchase.

 

[arfmel]

Is this actually engraved by a human, or some kind of automated laser process? Guessing it’s the latter.

 

[WAYNO]

Just like the SP101 version, I suspect it's real engraving, performed by an automated machine. Not lazer etched.

 

[arfmel]

Nice

 

[NikA]

Looks like 1783 is a blued version as well. Something for all tastes.

 

[WAYNO]

I've already began searching.

The price is $906 total, from my FFL, but there are none available at this time.

Are they already sold, or have they not yet been supplied?

I just received the email from Ruger the day I posted it, so I doubt they have all been sold!

Love the engraving, but I like my TALO unfluted version better than the engraving. Now if I could get the unfluted version with the engraving that would really interest me. But I only need one and the unfluted version is not going any where. Do like the grips on that revolver though.

 

[mjh]

I like the looks of the grips, not sure the engraving is enough for me to go out and buy one.

Yep, get rid of the HiViz sight, put the original GP 100 grip on it, so I can get Sack Peterson’s inserts, and that would be a Jim Dandy BBQ gun!

I like that they finally have decently designed wood stocks, but they fit poorly. In several different ways. Are they Altamont, like so many of their grips/stock?

 

[jimd441]

I too like the grip design.

They're finally available. I ordered one. 8)

Are we gonna shoot it 8) or is it a safe queen?

 

[Bear Paw Jack]

Wayno, I heard the man. Are WE gonna shoot it or is it a safe queen?? :mrgreen: PM me, where did you order it from?

I'll never shoot it. It'll live in the safe with the other guns sentenced to darkness.

My FFL said both Davidson's and Lipsey's had these simultaneously. Don't know which one he actually used.

 

[WAYNO]

I got mine.

A couple of observations...

Front sight... A Hi-Viz is not my favorite. But it's is a metal sight, so it receives some vindication.

The engraving is definitely not etched. It is engraved.

And although this revolver is brand new, it's got a bit of a turn ring. Somebody somewhere, from the factory to my FFL, must've decided to take it for a spin. :mrgreen:

It is very nice, and compares favorably to my engraved SP101 8)
