I bought a GP100 used a couple years ago that I thought was in so-so condition.  It was 200 bucks for a blued 6” so I bought it with the intention of converting it to a 10mm carry piece with Clements.  Well it’s been in the box, complete with manuals, lock, etc and I took it out yesterday to get ready to ship it.  I looked it over, wiped it down and noticed it was pretty nice and not best at all.  I decided to shoot it and have some fun before shipping it.  I took a couple hundred rounds of two different, pretty hot, magnum loads I had laying around and some 38 special as well.  Well lo and behold it shoots amazingly.  It was accurate and ate up some really heavy rounds with no pressure or issues.  It was nuts accurate and a blast—even the trigger wasn’t bad.  

Now what do I do?  I’m not sure I can sacrifice this one for the greater good of my 3” 10mm.  I may just get it tuned and some sights put on it. Do I need sewrchnout another for my dream 10mm or do I just say eff it and hack this puppy up?   I should’ve never opened Pandora’s box, or the gp100 box to be specific.  

Buy another beater to convert.

I’ll thank you now and won’t let my wife know you gave me the idea to buy yet another gun.

I’ve wanted to send a SP101 to them for the full house custom treatment for a looooong time.

keep it! Why hack up a good shooter? Go and spend your hedge fund money to tune it by all means or do what the rest of us do, lighten up the hammer & trigger springs slightly, do a little internal polishing and throw on a fo front sight. I love this gun so much lives in the drawer next to my bed.

I'd say get it converted.

It's a GP100.  Not "special" or rare.  You can get another one anytime you want.  They all shoot well.  The new ones have triggers that, I think, are better than the new Smith's.  

Yeah I’ve been dying to do this so I’m gonna.  Now for some old fashioneds.  

+1 for converting it. 

Leave it as is.  357 Magnum will do whatever the 10mm will do, only with more velocity and energy.

There are 10mm (aka 41 Special) revolvers available from S&W.
