I couldn't resist the latest temptation from my local gun pusher.
Ruger GP100 4" half lug Stainless in 38 Special! I have ALWAYS wanted a Speed Six in .38 special, and since I can't seem to find one that is reasonably priced so this will have to do.
Not may made/bought and while not rare, you rarely see them! And I simply couldn't resist the price - $300
Out of curiosity I measured the cylinder wall thickness of my 6" GP100 .357 and my Security Six .357 and this new one. They ALL measured .095 in thickness. So since they all are made of the same material and wall thickness, I'm thinking this new one will see some Keith level loads (.357) in .38 Special cases :twisted:
With the smaller, slimmer grips on this one, I'm also betting it will get a good bit of use as a CCW for me.
