Who has one? Thoughts?

I am wanting one to shoot steel targets at the range with and enjoy shooting it...(Unlike my .44 Alaskan). .357 with the 4" or 6" sounds like a good time and decent power.

I don't have a gp100 7 shot but like all ruger revolvers you are getting a lot of gun for the Money

No experience with the seven-shooter, but I had one of the earlier six-shooters with the six-inch barrel and found it very pleasant at the range. With the heavier loads, I much prefer a six to a four-inch barrel in a .357.

I don't have any experience with the 7 shot but I have the 6 shot 3" stainless.

Love it, they are built like a tank.

Well I couldn't stand it and did some trading into a brand new 7 shot GP100 with the 4.2" barrel. I'm really gonna like this thing...just waiting on the rain to stop so I can get out to the range. The trigger feels really good on it, and it has a bright fiber optic front sight. I may need to sit in the bow blind to try and bag a hog with it.

My dad has a Dan Wesson .357 with a 6" barrel and it was a lot of fun to shoot at silhouettes. Very accurate also.

I have the 7 shot GP100 with the 6' barrel. I really like the gun, found tuff strip makes 7shot strips. The front sight is fiber optic and is very nice but I wish it was a little smaller in diameter

Hi KWard -- I've now shot about 200 rounds through mine and I really like it. I only shot the Winchester white box ammo but the fiber optic front sight is found a lot faster than the plain black sights. I haven't gotten the accuracy from it as I have from my 45LC blackhawk but it could have been a number of reasons why that was.

I may end up getting rid of the traditional sights on my new model blackhawk .45acp/.45LC to the $70ish dollar fiber optic sights that Ruger sells. I don't want to lose how the gun looks right now but they are just a lot easier sights to use...so I think it will be worth it. This summer I am going to take it one evening after our hog population.

I love Ruger revolvers. They are nearly indestructible. If there is one weakness they usually have, it's the trigger pull. Glad to see yours is good. As far as a front optic sight, they are my favorite, along with a blacked out rear sight, preferably a v-notch.

I absolutely hate 3 dot sights on a handgun. The two rear dots are just distracting to me.
