GP100 in 44 special

Redhawk in 357 magnum (8-shot)

The 8-shot Redhawk is something I've been hoping that they would make for a while now. Should be a lot of fun. The 44 special seems interesting too...even though I don't reload and the ammo is expensive.

I would not turn down either one. The prices are rivaling S&Ws, though.

Yeah, we'll have to wait and see on street prices. The MSRP on the new GP100 is the same as the 357 versions, so in the shops it should end up closer to $600 (hopefully).

Ruger pricing has gone through the roof lately.

829 MSRP for a blued Vaquero.

They were in the mid 500s a few years ago.

^^^ sure does.

If these new 357 Redhawks sell well, it will make the older six shots more collectible than they already are.

At four pounds loaded, that Redhawk is a seriously heavy war hammer.

The 357 has a listed empty weight of 44 oz.
That's 2 lbs 12 oz.
Don't think eight rounds of 357 is gonna add another 20 oz.

The 44 special GP is awesome. I'd absolutely buy the first one with a 6" barrel if/when they add it.

Ruger does seem to be hitting on some things I've wanted them to do for a long time, but thought I'd never see happen; three things in particular:

1. A 480 Bisley
2. A 44sp GP100
3. A 6.5" 41 Blackhawk in stainless

Well, two down, one to go!!!

Fluteless cylinder just looks good.

My new .454 Alaskan has some finishing improvements over previous years I've noticed. They engraved the "Please read owners manual" under the barrel as opposed to the side of the barrel which cosmetic appeal to me. The trigger edges were rounded and smoothed at the factory, as opposed to my older SP101 that I had a gunsmith do as he was tuning it up for me.

Neither interests me. I'd rather they offer a 4" GP100 in 9mm. Then I'll bite.

The Redhawk is, but I didn't see an 8 shot GP100?

When they offer that 8 shot 357 Redhawk with a longer barrel, say 4" or 5 1/2", it will go straight to the top of my wishlist.

I am saving my lunch money for a Redhawk in 45Colt/45ACP. I think it will be a great combination to play with. Join my GP-100, Security Six and SP-101.
