Looks great! Are you going to keep the grips or swap them out for something different? (I'm just not a fan of the Houge grips.) I do think you're right about the barrel length though...

I got one of the 5" GP100 from Davidson's last run. For me it is the perfect length and my most accurate handgun. Another Ruger fan handled mine and thought I had a trigger job done, then he offered to buy it. The only thing I have done was get the older style GP100 factory rubber grips with the wood insert and a red ramp front sight from Ruger. I'll never part with it and hope you like yours as much as I do mine.

Yeh, mine seems to have a pretty good trigger for right out of the factory. I've got a pair of the old style grips from a SRH, with the dark wood inserts. That might look good against the stainless finish. I'll have to try them out. Is that red ramp front sight, a solid plastic, or with the red inserted into a metal sight? I'm going to have to check out their website. Did you get a 20% off certificate with your's?

Earl, those rock. Nice balancing in that 5" GP you got there.
My GP100 is less than a year old and has a fantastic trigger.
Good luck with the GP. Rugers are a wonderful hand-me-down, because you can hand them down.

I agree with you all. The newest Hogue grips are ugly and not needed on a 357 cal.
I always suspected that Ruger did the switch from the old grips just to save a few $$$. Ruger must know that the old grips are better, they still sell them at SHOPRUGER.COM.

Looks better and should be more comfortable. I really don't know why anybody likes Hogue's, for anything. I find the ambidextrous palm swells to be more irritating than ten crying babies.

i have shied away from buying rugers with the houges on them just because i know i am going to immediatly replace them. my fingers dont fit where the goves tell them to go and dont fit inside the "finger indents" so i am much less accurate with houges on. much less that it makes the gun somehow feel twice as big in a hip holster.
in short that would be the right choice for me.
