I am jealous, I do not have a GP100 but that is the one I really want. Congrats on a great revolver. Let us know how it shoots.

I have seen them they are a great version of a great gun.

Congrats! I swore off wheel guns years ago, but the GP100 sure is growing on me. This one looks especially nice. (I googled images)

I made a recent deal/trade with my local dealer and to me was to be a new 3", fixed sight, stainless GP 100. To my dismay the dealer nor I could find a single copy of that gun so the dealer got on a lot of waiting lists. In the mean time during one on line search I found the Wiley Clapp version of the very same gun, IN STOCK and ready to ship. And the price wasn't too much more to make the deal undoable. I almost got the dealer talked into inquiring about it and then I thought? Is the Wiley Clapp version on the California Safety List? So I did a check and guess what... NO IT'S NOT! What a bummer. I'm still looking but also continually checking the CA list to not get my hopes up. Smithy.

Mike, The Wiley Clapp is a nice piece - love mine. First run was only 2,000 and they are available without too much effort right now - get 'em while they're hot! I hear this year's Wiley Clapp is a run of 2,500 in blue. I haven't seen one of them yet - is yours blue or Hawkeye finish SS?

Congratulations!

It is the Matt stainless finish, really like it.

I guess it's obvious I like the Wiley Clapp since I use it as my avatar. Here's a picture of mine. Miss Kitty wishes she had opposable thumbs.....

I heard a rumour that this year's run of 2,500 was in a blue finish but that's jsut speculation and I'm not sure what that would look like. The "bead blasted" or "frosted" stainless steel looks cool enough but maybe there's something else better coming. The other nice thing about the WC is the softened edges all over and the taper to the cylinder.

Not the greatest picture, but I found one of the blue model on Lipseys

It's cool, but I like the SS model better.

Congrats!

So the rumours were true! Thanks for the update BearcatShack. I would like to see one in person before passing judgement but since I generally like SS revolvers anyway I probably prefer the SS version. (So I wonder - if Talo has the SS did Lipsey's get the blue to compete?)

Nope - Lipsey's site says it's a Talo.

 

[BZ40]

Nice, very nice indeed! I would be happy with either of those options Or better yet.........Both! Hmmmmmm dreams are free I guess

 

[clarkston_cz]

Yes, both versions would be ideal for shooting heavier .357 magnum loads.

And handle recoil better than my old Speed Six.

I've read that their actions are really nice as well?


I doubt if either one would keep the FO sight for long if I could find tritium versions.
