New Ruger GP100 revolver rumors.

Anymore info on these? Both are relevant to my interests.

My Gp100 .327 only has 7 cylinders, so an 8 round in anything bigger seems dubious to me, unless they go to exotic alloys, which equals big $$.

I'm shooting the USPSA Revolver nationals next weekend should see several of my friends that saw the gun in question. Hopefully have some info after that.

Oh great. I bet you give candy to little diabetic kids, too, dont you?

Well it looks like the gun will be a Redhawk with a GP100 style trigger. (duel spring action in stead of the single spring typical Redhawk trigger).
Will wait and see how they hold up in competition before MAYBE trying one.

Interest lost.

No. You just need a bigger cylinder, which leads tui a bigger frame. N-frame and Redhawks are 6 shots. Step down a size, you only fit five.

I would love to see a GP100 in 45 Colt, five shot is fine by me...

GP100 5 shot .41 magnum 3” adj sight would take me back to the .41 magnum world.

Chambering a GP-100 in 32-20 would be an interesting shooter for hand loaders. I would bet you could get some pretty high velocities as strong as those cylinders are.

That WOULD be pretty cool.

That's what makes the .327 so much fun for us non-handloaders. When I introduce this revolver to fellow shooters, I sneakily load it with .32 S&W first. They fire that, and it seems like 22 shorts. Then I reload it with .32 H&R, and they say, cool. Then I load it with 100 grain .327, and as they shoot it, their eyes light up, they start gripping it tighter ... and then they buy one. The 327 is the modern-day equivalent of the 32-20, only at higher pressures, with a straight-walled case. Now that Henry offers rifles and carbines, I hope the caliber can gain some traction. I do enjoy my Henry carbine, the GP100, and the SP101 (which can be a handfull, with full power loads). I've seen people say, why not just go with 357, but the 327 gets you close without as much blast, and I like that. Plus, you get one more round.

Fascinating. I think they did a great job with the model 1759 (smooth cylinder, 6" stainless, hogue walnut, talo exclusive). Nearly as nice as S&W 627-0, IMO.
