Been snooping around various vendors. This version of the GP100 caught my eye because it is a seven-shooter.

I wish they would put a Redhawk barrel as an option on the GP100.

The Ruger GP100 checks all the boxes and is built like a tank:
Ruger® GP100® Standard Double-Action Revolver Model 1707

"crazy expensive" is relative, depending on which century you're pricing base is located (personally, I think all new guns are outrageously priced, but that's my issue).I had to send in a my Rossi 97206 in due to a recall. The deal is they would repair anything required, pay for shipping both ways, and provide $50 for the hassle. Fair enough, I sent it in. I get a call just now saying they can't repair it, but they will replace it. But, wait, they no longer make the 97206, so they'll send another wheelgun. My one and only option? A blued, Taurus 605 snub. So, I send in a full-size, six-shot, stainless steel, .357 Magnum and they are replacing it with a small, five-shot, 2" barrel snubbie that is worth less than the aforementioned. Since it isn't an exact replacement, they have to send it to an FFL, which fortunately I have, but that would have been an extra kick in nether regions if I didn't. And I have yet to see a $50 check. WTF Rossi?
Anyway, being that I already have a Taurus 605 and don't need another snub, I'm going to sell it and buy an actual replacement. On that score, can anyone recommend a revolver that is:
To answer the "what for" question:
- Full-size.
- 6-shot or more capacity.
- Stainless steel.
- Decent quality fit and finish.
- Decent trigger pull.
- 6" barrel.
- Adjustable sights.
- Decent aftermarket support with respect to custom grips.
- Not some oddball manufacturer that will make obtaining parts a PITA.
- Not crazy expensive.
I'm heavily leaning towards a Ruger, though I am open to a Smith or other manufacturer. Thanks for any recommendations.
- Shooting metallic silhouettes. (Standard sized chicken, pig, turkey, and ram.)
- Shooting bowling pins.
- Holster carry when on my own property.
- Maybe carry while hiking.
Orignally, those were the Registered Magnum guns.The Smith and Wesson Model-27 is the Full Dressed version of the Highway Patrolman and the ones I have Owned and Shot. Personally, I think they're worth the extra Money.
That's correct!!!Orignally, those were the Registered Magnum guns.
Highly sought after these days.
