did you try Gun Connection and the Gun Shop
I think they may have the GP100 in stock if you call

Expect to pay 10 - 15% more at the show than you would in a good local gun shop...
And, from past experience, I doubt that there will be any on hand to buy...
They'll have to order one for you...

I got a security six two weeks ago for $400. You should be able to find one in your price range.

not sure of a good price these days, but a security six will do you right.
That and my old ruger police caribine were my camping guns for a long time. A lot of people gave the security six crap because certain non critical parts were investment cast, but just for the record Ruger is by far not the only firearm maker that did this to bring quality to the market at value prices.
To hear the propaganda from S&W fanboys and almost certainly employees, you'd think ruger was making the things in their basements with thumb tacks and chewed juicy-fruit for welds.
Anyways, that security six is one of the guns I am most disappointed in myself for selling. I ended up getting some flavor of the week with the proceeds. Makes me feel like a traitor looking back on it.

all that being said, though, the GP-100 is an EXCELLENT firearm. If I had my choice between the two and money wasn't an issue, I'd take the GP-100

just think, you'll be able to finally use the coveted and mysterious
"RUGER ONLY" loads at the end of the listings in the reloading manual entries for .357 magnum if you go with the GP-100

Between the two I would hold out and look for a Security Six. GP100 are heavy and don't feel as balanced as the Security Six.
The security six is lighter weight. The GP100 is built like a tank. Buy the one that really appeals to *YOU*.
I picked the big 6" stainless GP100 over 20yrs ago and still have it. *I* love the full underlug look and the extra weight counters the recoil nicely. Still runs like new and I have shot some crazy hot silhouette loads out of it. S&Ws do generally have crisper triggers (esp. the performance center versions but thats not an apples to apples fight.)
