Non-Political Gun Talk (On topic)

You guys are getting political and off-topic.

Careful.

Just in MY opinion, I would rather have a hammer. No rhyme or reason. Just what I like

On an auto I don't mind it. It took some time for me to accept it on a revolver but now I carry a hamerless 442 and I love it. Though on a full-size revolver I'd still want the SA/DA hammer.

442 isn't really hammerless. Concealed hammer.

The action is fully enclosed. The only external moving parts are the trigger and cylinder.

Correct. Its called a hammerless but there really is a hammer inside a shroud.

@silverbullet2893 you know I love my Dan Wesson but I feel a 686 in my near future.

Already had my GP100 at that point. Traded it for a Glock 22.

You only wanted it because it had GP in the name.

GP100 is one of the best revolvers made. Probably the only criticism I have is that its a bit heavy but that is because it is so solidly made.

The ones without the full ejector shroud may be a tad lighter, but I like the balance it has.

I bought a GP100 when they first came out. I really liked it because it was like a smaller version of my Super Redhawk.

Very good design and super easy to replace with lighter springs.

I like the big variety of options Ruger offers including the fact that you can get just about any of their models either in blue or stainless, but one of the reasons I'm partial to S&W over them is I like having the full backstrap grip.

S&W is usually prettier but most use leaf springs which aren't as durable as the coil springs of Ruger.

I was rather surprised to see there was a 10 shot 22 lr version of the GP100.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Not sure what to make of the 327 Mag. Does allow for 6 shots in the SP101.
