I went in search of components today and ending up at a large gun store. It looked like a fire sale. Very little in the way of any reloading supplies and loaded handgun cartridges. What is available is priced far beyond what I'm willing to pay. I'm not sure when this madness is going to end but I'm not playing in that sandbox until some sanity returns to the market.
The supply of firearms is improving and I saw some interesting guns for sale. One was a 4" Stainless Ruger GP-100 with fixed sights and a half lug barrel! It was new and had the black rubber Hogue monogrips. They wanted an obscene amount of money and it went back into the case. Shame, I would have loved to taken it home with me.
It was marked .357 magnum, so it wasn't one of the 38 Special only models from the early stainless steel production dates.
Anyone know about that version of the GP-100?
