Edit; not sure what happened.
Never in history has there been a situation so bad that the government couldn't make it worse.
A foolish faith in authority is the enemy of the truth.
Have one too in .357. It's my favorite pistol now. I have tons of .38 brass, so I load "hot" .38 loads with bullseye and 158 gr TL boolits and it shoots great for cheap cost per round. Never understood buying a .38 pistol when a .357 is about the same price and you can shoot both in it.

Wait.. What.. Where!?!?! You saying a GP100 in 9MM? I think I have heard of the sp-101 in 9MM but not a GP100
Be still my beating heart, I want one
I love my two GP100's - as someone else has said - they will be the last to go - actually, I say I will die still owning them. My son and daughter can fight over who gets the stainless and who gets the blued one. My wife, sadly(or should I say gladly?) never fell in love with them

There are others, but here are a couple places that make inserts.
I will not sacrifice the idea that God is good on the altar of human reasoning
in order to find an answer for what I don't understand or can't explain.
I ignored GP100s for many years thinking 'Ruger = single actions, S&W = double actions'.
I even went to the guns store last year expecting to buy a 686, but comparing a S&W 686 SSR to a GP100, the GP was clearly smoother in the bore and chambers and the Smith had a flawed muzzle crown.
The GP was an easy choice to make.
Now that I've had it over a year I'm still very happy with it. It shoots cast great, and it even shoots plated bullets very well.
I just watched a nearly new KGPF-840 (.38 Special/stainless/fixed sights,4" barrel) sell on another forum for $600.00. I would've happily paid that if I had the cash. Full size .38 Special revolvers are just pure awesomeness. Don't ask me to explain why because I can't, but more than a few on the Ruger forum share this sentiment.
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
......Full size .38 Special revolvers are just pure awesomeness. Don't ask me to explain why because I can't,.....
No need to explain. I too have a similar affliction. Sort of like shooting 38 Specials out of a model 27 N-frame?

I wish I was the one that could lay claim to that accomplishment but at least I can aspire to it.
my GP is awesome as well. I especially like the way it disassembles with the trigger group and all.
I shoot blackpowder loads thru mine from time to time and boy are those loads fun. cleanup is a snap and when I pull the trigger group ... everything is very clean and un-gunked ... there is a word for ya.
Groo here
We got a Gp100 3in fixed, fast becoming a fave.
Dad calls it the mini-hammer...
Best revolver in 327 fed mag !
