I tend to lurk in Budsgunshop.com's used section a good bit looking for good deals on Ruger handguns. I bought a 3" Blued GP100 for 399.00 delivered there a few months back. Well yesterday I happened across a stainless one for 409.00 delivered. I looked at it. Came close to buying it twice last night. Posted a heads up on my local forum (CarolinaShootersForum.com - Powered by vBulletin) for other interested parties. Then this morning it was still available and I ordered it.
So I'm 409.00 poorer, but I'll be when I pick it up later this week from my FFL.
The best cure for this ailment is to separate your self from the cause. So to help you out send the blued one to me and I will properly dispose of it for you. I have had all the shots, 357 of them, so don't worry about infecting me. Maybe some one else would be willing to help you rid yourself of the stainless steel one.
The 3" GP is darn near the perfect revolver. My blued one is circa 1994 and has one of the nicest GP triggers I've ever felt. I'm hoping this stainless one does as well.

I slept on it and woke up with a case of GP100 weakness.......I was very relieved to find it still there Tuesday morning.
It's now here in hand though:
A pair of 3's.......not much of a poker hand, but nice when talking GP's......
I've had the blued one for a couple months, but I just picked the stainless one up from my FFL today. Very tight lockup and sweeeeet trigger. It's 2007 vintage, the blued is circa '94.
Dang it, *******! Now you made me have to buy one. It it brand spanking new and stainless steel. My first new gun. I looked at it online for about a week and couldn't stand it any longer. As a side note, I'm planning to sell my Security Six. That gun just doesn't like my hand.
My Security Six is a blued 2 3/4 inch with the original grips and a Pachmayr Tyler T type addition. Model number starts with 150. I replaced the front sight with an orange stripe Millet. There is a little holster wear in various places. The trigger is really sweet. But, it hurts my hand when I shoot it and I can't seem to get any kind of accuracy with it. Probably due to me rather than the SS.
Ranting *******,
Concur on the 3". Very handy size. Also, I have a 4" stainless Python, 5" model 27, and 3" GP. The Python has had one trip back to Colt so far, S&W is back at Roosevelt ave as I type this, but doubt (could always be wrong) I'll need to send the Ruger back for repair. If I thought I was going into a situation where I might need to use a gun, I'd take the GP over the other two.
I agree wholeheartedly. I've shot a couple of Pythons, nice, but I don't get what all the fuss is about. I've shot and owned a couple of Smiths and they just didn't do it for me, whatever that indefinable "it" is when it comes to firearms fit/preference.
When I bought my first GP100 I was hooked. I now own 5. The two 3" ones shown here, two 4" stainless ones (one of which I may end up giving to my Father in law), and a six inch blued half-lug. Plus 3 SP101's and an LCR.
I'm a bit of a Ruger fanatic.......
