Ordered a Ruger Wiley Clapp II GP 100 today. I'm really looking forward to this gun. It will be my second revolver. I'm a Ruger fanboy so that's a plus. Will post some pics when I get it.
Nothing wrong with being a Ruger fan-boy. I have tried not to be, but I have bought other revolvers including S&W but they are always sold because I just like the Ruger's better. Good revolvers and now that the American pistol is being released I fear my S&W M&P will probably go Bye Bye.
So, I was well on my way to paying off my GP100 at the LGS. Then for some reason I got bit by the Colt Python bug and HAD to have one. Python is paid off and being sent to me. I went to The LGS today and made another payment on the GP100. I got to see and hold it for the first time. I love it. Hopefully I'll have it paid off in two weeks when I get paid again. Just an update. P.S. The GP100 is GORGEOUS.
4" barrel Nickel plated. Tracked it down in a pawn shop in Texas. It's on it's way to me. It's hard for me to tell from the pictures if there are scuffs/scratches in the finish or if it's the reflection of something. She "might" take a trip back to Colt for refinishing. We shall see. Here's a picture from the listing.
By the pic I don't see you sending it back to Colt. It looks great and often guns look in much better condition in hand than in a pic.
I was able to pick up my GP100 earlier than I expected. I like it a lot. Can't wait to shoot it. Crappy cell phone pics, sorry. I'll have to get my father in law to take better ones.
Got some better pictures taken today. I will try not to blow up this thread with pics. Colt Python 4" barrel 1975 Colt Diamondback 4" barrel 1975 Both together Ruger GP100 Wiley Clapp All together Fun afternoon with these revolvers. Hope y'all like em.
