Brought her home today!! She needs a good cleaning but should clean up good. Can't wait to get to the range!! Awe man, just something so cool about having a revolver like this in your hand.
GP100 or 9mm/.40 carbine build?

I got to take the gp to the range Sunday and oh man! I love this gun! Shot 357 and 38 through it. Was shooting a little high and to the right. Didn't really have time to sight it in, but the grouping was good. I was able to add new Altamont grips.

It's a 1978. I love it. I had two of them. I want to pick up another 2.75 inch model for carry.

I love the 40 cal...what's wrong with it ?? Just as good as .357 and that's another favorite

I love .40 too. My Glock is .40.
I'm another 40 fan but if watch there's a lot of haters now days.

More ammo for us! Haters gonna hate...

I'll also add that I understand why people may not like the .40, but I have learned to love it. I am still trying to master the round and all, but I truly do like it and as I've practiced I have seen myself get better and better with it. Maybe it's not a great "ready to run" round in the sense that it's agreeable from first shot for most people, novice shooters included. But like anything, you give it due diligence and practice, you come to appreciate it as it challenges you and you overcome those challenges.

GP500?

I'd be interested in what a GP500 would look like, lol. I've always sort of wanted something like a Ruger New Vaquero, only double action. Or more importantly, a single action with a swing out cylinder for easier loading.
those are nice!

What "problems" are there with that round. Must be at least 20 different round choices out there
ArmedCorgi
.475 A&M Magnum
I don't really think there are any problems with the round. Some people just don't like it. Whether it's too "snappy" or doesn't offer the ballistics they want.
Only 9mm can defeat the dreaded frying pan armor!

Not true! The .40 does as well.
but but follow up shots are slower because of the scary recoil!
Mr. terzmo

Scary recoil ?? lol With the 40..one shot is needed.....with a 9mm.....unlimited...lol..

Wow, I missed this old thread. Nice choice on buying the GP100, The black front sight should get a coat of nail polish, lure paint or switched out with a white plastic front sight, it will be easier on your eyes.

Bella Napoli goods could lead to world peace if given the proper platform!
You must be in the Capital area.

The front sight is a tritium nite sight, but I did paint around the tritium dot with orange paint. It has helped. It's a great gun, a lot of fun to shoot.

From round those parts, yeah.

I have a bunch of Smith revolvers 64, 686, two 586's and a bunch more. Also a bunch of Rugers, by far my all time favorite is the stainless 6" 357 GP100.
If I had to choose only one center-fire handgun it would be the GP100.
A REAL PLEASURE to handle and Shoot.
You bought the Cadilac of the revolvers.

Corgi,
Personally, I like Smiths....pre-lock. That said, the GP is a great platform, good solid gun!
As far as the carbine goes, I've got a 556 in that platform. Both my Glocks are .40, so when I looked at a somewhat different platform in a, ahem, compact carbine..... I've stayed with the .40 for consistency. I've got lots of .40 stored up over the years. So ammo, mags are all interchangeable with my glocks. That's what worked for me...... streamlined!
