After weeks of thinking about it (and waiting for the tax check, of course) I finally was able to go out and get me a new gun, as opposed to the normal window shopping.
While I narrowed my search down to a few that I had in mind, at the last minute I saw a Ruger GP100 .357 with a 4" barrel giving me the sad eyes from the glass-enclosed cage it was in. That was all it took lol.
This thing is sweet and built for longevity.
Has anyone ever had a bad one or problems of any kind? It's my first GP100 but after searching the web for the past day or two it appears to be a solid gun that's built to last.
Another question I have is how can I run a serial number search to figure out just how old it is without calling the company direct? While searching around this weekend I stumbled upon a page that looked like it could do it but lost the page and can't remember where it was lol. It might have been on the Ruger site, but I went back there and couldn't find it again.
Thanks.
