I just thought I'd share my GP with you guys. Its a 4" model with fixed sights and the smaller factory grips. SN puts it being built in 1990. I like this GP more than I liked my old S&W 686 I used to have! Here's a pic:

They are great revolvers. Yours appears to be in great shape. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

That's nice! I don't see many 4" fixed sight GPs. Great revolver - enjoy!

Very nice find....I am Jealous. Be Safe.

 

[Trad Archer]

That is a very nice gun.

I own both; a 4" GP100, and its stable mate is a 4" S&W 686. Love 'em both equally. The two finest DA revolvers in the world for a couple decades. I really don't favor one over the other.

Will you carry it concealed? The smaller grips should help if you do.
Great aquisition!

Thanks for the comments guys!

@3482jl: I'm pretty sure I like the Ruger more only because of sights and grip. The 686 I had also had a 4" barrel but it had gigantic Houge grips on it and the adjustable sights. I learned from that revolver that I enjoyed fixed sights a lot more and that I just don't have that big of hands. I'd still like to have another 686 one day, but for now I'm perfectly content with this being the only .357 I own.

@AmbroseLee: Right now I do not carry this concealed mainly because I do not have a decent (read: concealable) holster for it at this time. I hope to change that down the line but right now it is not a priority. When I do carry it, it generally rides in a cheap Uncle Mike's OWB holster. I usually only do this in the woods while hiking/creeking though. When I do get a holster I will carry it.

Very nice. I love the grips too!

A great all around gun: range, home defense, hiking, etc...
Not only are they practical, but they look good too.
You got a real keeper there buddy.

Joe, that's a real nice GP and is one you don't see very often. I never cared much for the bulkier 4" full lug GP's-but, your fixed sight full lug GP is slimmer, better looking, and about 4 ounces lighter. It's a keeper in my opinion.

Interesting. I never knew that such an animal existed! A 4" GP with fixed sights? Very cool!

In fact when you look on the Ruger web site, it is not listed. Perhaps it's a discontinued model?

Good find - Enjoy!

The 4" GP100 is as good as it gets. I cherish mine, and my 4" 686 Plus

 

[Smithy]

I'm just as happy with my new 3" fixed sighted GP100 (4" no longer being made in a fixed sight model). The one they do offer has the top strap milled for a thin rear blade for wind-age. (not my cup of tea, thus the 3"). Your's is another gun NEVER to sell since they're no longer being made. Smithy.

Very nice, I've got versions of the same GP, only in .38 Special.
