Fair enough, we all have opinions, for me the feel, fit and finish of the gp100 was better then the 627 I tried.

I agree Colt makes a hell of a revolver and I'd love to have an anoconda or python but that's way out of my budget. As far as S&W, again, they don't do very much for me, I prefer the feel of a Ruger over most stock S&W's And yes the 999 is interesting, I just felt it was missing something

I know they had some problems before but I heard they fixed the majority. What did you hear them say from SHOT?

I took a look at the 627, the GP100 beats it out hands down in my opinion.

I'm not sure how much humor is in the post, I hope a lot. As I mentioned before I target/sport shoot, so that's the main use of the gun. As far as having a permit to "burn" here's the story. I had my eye on 3 guns, a Taurus Tracker 990 which I ordered already, a Chiappa Rhino 50DS and the third was going to be a H&R Sportmens 999. The H&R was going to be a challenge to find as it hasn't been made in some time so I wanted the permit handy when I found one. It turns out a friend of mine owns one. I gave it a try and really didn't like it so now I have a third permit to use. And it's not just a loss of $2. If I don't use the permit and need to request another one at a later date it's $22, $2 for the permit and $20 for the background check. So I figure I have the permit I might as well use it.

I have a little while before I can purchase one but send me a PM with some details, barrel lenght, condition, etc.

I'm thinking this might be the way to go but I'm keeping my options open. I got a while before I can buy it, who knows, maybe something new and cooo came out of SHOT!

The gp100 is on my short list. I handled the standard and the match champion over at red dot and the match champion felt a lot nicer in the hand but is slightly over my budget. The standard was fine but I would need to replace the grips

Ok, I do like the 929 but it's out of my price range

I know you guys are going to think I'm nuts but I haven't tried a S&W I've actually liked accept for the performance center models which are out of my price range.

Hi all, So I got 3 permits coming in, 1 had already been spoken for with a Taurus tracker, the second is going towards a Chiappa rhino in 357. But I need some ideas for the third one. I want a modern style revolver in a 38 or 357 and prefer it to be below $800 if possible. I'm using this for sport/target shooting so a longer barrel would be better. Let me know what you think Sam

Great, I can work with that

No feedback or suggestions from me, just wanted to say I had a great time as usual at RTSP today. I do have a question however, what's the policy on beverages in the ports and range area? Sometimes I really need a cup of coffee!

Just a quick update on this. I had some free time yesterday and stopped by Red Dot. Great shop and Jim the owner is super cool and friendly. Their selection was pretty good and it gave me some ideas for my third permit. They gained a new customer yesterday!

Great news, so you have a large selection of revolvers or just hand guns in general?

I've actually tried a few circuit judges, great idea but the quality isn't there. One had a loose stock and the other jammed up during a dry fire.

I know they surface every now and then SkyDrive hopefully I'll find one someday. I know there was a builder in Texas making them years ago but I forget his name.

That's a haul from where I am. I make that trip once a year for the Corvette show.

I like my wheel guns, the only thing I'm really after which I might find at a big show is some type of revolver rifle, maybe a revolver converted over to a rifle would work.

Well it sounds like I didn't miss much but I still want to hit one some day

I'm working this weekend so no show for me. Maybe next time

I like that its different, modern looking but still a revolver.

Thanks, it's about an hours drive for me, is it worth it?

Not that I can afford to buy anything else right now with my eye on a Chiappa Rhino but I'd love to hit a gun show in or near NJ. Who knows, I might find a good revolving rifle! Thanks, Sam

Nice, that's one think I really like about it, little to no muzzle flap. And because I only ever shoot a revolver I usually do a tea cup hold so I should be ok with the angle of the grip and not blowing my thumb off. The price on the other hand is up there, ouch but again I really want to give one a try
