New Rugers

[VERO1]

Haven't seen it mentioned here, so I'll throw it out.  Ruger introduced 6 new handguns for the upcoming year.  I plan to put in an order for one of them, a GP100 in .44 special.  It's a long requested offering that I'm sure some of the custom pistolsmiths will not be happy to see offered as a factory item.

I need to recheck my emails, I only know about the GP100 and the .357 red hawk?

 

I want to see a factory bain and davis convertible, but I won't hold my breath.

Looking on Rugers website, looks like 3 new Mark IV pistols, a SR1911 Target, plus the 2 you mentioned.

So S&W can put 5 shots of 44 mag in an L frame but Ruger can only put 44 specials in a gp100?

My guess is that the cylinder length is too short... Aint measured, but that's what i think...

UPDATE:  QUICK LOOK UP... Gp 100 cylinder oal... 1.609...

44 MAG OAL... Max... 1.610...

It's sure good to see Jeff Quinn on the mend.  He started the year off in a world of hurt.  Glad to see him recovered.

Yes, I agree. Just a good ol' country boy. I really like watching him.

Still looks a little behind his old self, but life will do that to us.
