I'm sure you'll love it. I have a stainless loaded and it is fantastic (although after I had to send it back for a trigger job and other stuff done for free - great customer service). Please make sure you give a good report once its in and you have a few rounds down range.

I love my GP100 357. It's my bedroom closet gun. Doesn't have the trigger of a S&W, but its acceptable for me and its built like a tank.

She finally followed me home after sitting in the backroom of the shop for almost 2 years

Yes the streamlight says demo on it, i got for a supedooper deal.

Good looking 17 you got there! ^^^

Decision, decisions..... Need some opinions.... Picking up a Colt Python .357 Mag for an incredible price. Why are these so expensive????? Do I keep it or trade it in on a rifle? I have a nice assortment of wheel guns so adding another is a toss up. Looking at getting a Weatherby 22-250 or .300 Mag, either one in a non-synthetic stock. Really would like a .338 Lapua but I'm not trying to drop that kinda coin right now.

I've always wanted a .22-250. Something about lead moving at 4600 fps is SOOOO cool. :-)

NO doubt! Still have fond memories of shooting dead catfish that were nailed to a tree with a .375 H&H. Talk about a fuggin mess that was. :-)

Picked up my Range Officer during my lunch break, I'll get some pictures up when I get home. This thing is sweet though, can't wait to go shoot it!

Here are some pics. A little before and after with some new grips.

Did they quit making these?

1911 is the only way to go!

Great price for that Python! One of the best looking guns out there.

Absolutely :-)

Nice pick ups guys :-)

The guys at Gander Moutain in Knoxville offered me $650 for the Python. Guess I will wait until the next gun show to see what she brings.

Finally got around at posting my M&P 40....
