Quote HistoryQuoted: Guys! Should I buy a 4" GP100 tomorrow?! Sure. Last revolver month I was tempted by everyone posting about their 65 surplus revolvers. Was hard to resist getting in on that. So I ordered a 19 carry comp yesterday to make up for it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What’s the price? 759.99 but I have a coupon for $50 off. It's just the plain Jane stainless model but the coupon would offset the price of some wood grips for it. |

Went to the gun shop after work. I was pretty close to going home with the GP100, but ultimately I just couldn't do it. It was a nice gun, solid in every way, but it just didn't do it for me.
I do have a line on an interesting Colt, though. Anyone know anything about 22 cal Police Positives? |

It's been a while for me, too. I like to rotate through the pile and shoot them all now and then. That's a stainless grip frame. Ruger used to just sell them to anyone. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why? Glad you asked. The 638 in stock config is awful to shoot. With Hogue grips it's tolerable. However, it loses a lot of the positives that it had going for it - namely pocketability. So it becomes more of a belt gun. If that's the case I'd rather have a steel frame with good sights. Something actually shootable. I'm open to suggestions or other opinions though. 1911s I know well. Revolvers not as much. |

I went back to the gun shop to buy the GP100, only to be distracted by a 3" king cobra. I don't have a 3" 357, but man I hated those rubber grips on that one. Really nice revolver otherwise, and I especially liked the gold bead front sight.
I left without buying anything (again), and began looking for wood stocks to fit the king cobra. Slim pickings, it would seem. @mclark202 what grips does your 3" have on it? |

I've posted pics of this beauty a few times. Andy Horvath Custom Blackhawk. It's a .45 Colt, but Andy made a new cylinder from scratch (pics show original and custom cylinder). Oversize on both diameter and length, the cylinder walls are 50% thicker at the weakest point, bumping up the maximum pressure to around 40,000 PSI. Andy also had to mill out the frame to fit the oversize cylinder.
It's a beast to shoot, but hits very hard. Shot a deer with it already. Andy is working on a couple other guns for me now. My first handgun, a GP100 that is getting a completel overhaul (new barrel, refinish, action job) and a 629 Mountain Gun (new sights, cutting for moon clips). I'll post pics when I get things back.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've thought about getting a lefty holster just in case Oh, it's worse than that. All the cylinder releases are on the wrong side - Ruger, S&W (most), Colt, Kimber, Manurhin, Charter (most). He's getting an Arminius (his great-grandfather's), a Dan Wesson, S&W M&P Bodyguard, a Charter Arms Southpaw, and as many single actions as I can afford. Korth is also on the list, along w/ a larger DW. I dunno if I'll ever spring for a Korth, though. Maybe a Webley if his uncle can weld a thumblatch on the right side. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I get milling out the frame top & bottom, but why longer? To allow for longer / heavier 350+ grain hardcast bullets, if I ever feel like it. Not sure I ever will load monsters like that, but why not? ETA: If I recall correctly, I don't think he had to mill out the frame for length. I wanted him to re-cut the forcing cone on the barrel and set the gap at less than .002. I think he shortened the barrel slightly, and made up for it with a longer cylinder. If you look at a standard .45 Blackhawk, the barrel sticks through the frame a bit, and the cylinder doesn't "fill" the whole frame window. On mine, the barrel barely sticks through the frame and the cylinder fills the whole window. |
