Actually I did a little calculatin’.that’s a ton of ammo down range!
How? you didn’t factor if they were 158, 125, 148??? heck 110Actually I did a little calculatin’.
That’s 2 1/4 tons.
I gotta gotta get a life…
I sure didn’t.How? you didn’t factor if they were 158, 125, 148??? heck 110
Wow! Now that’s impressive! Not that I’m close, but that you keep meticulous records of the ammo you’ve used.Pat's almost on the money.
Love the grips! These will make a full comeback!I sure didn’t.
The average 50 round box of cartridges weighs 1-1.5 pounds. I rounded to 1.5 pounds.
150,000 / 50 = 3000 boxes of ammo.
3000 x 1.5# = 4500#
A ton is 2000#
4500 / 2000 = 2.25 tons
Now, in the spirit of this thread, I bought my one and only GP100 two years ago. I like it so much that I am definitely not averse to buying more.
The one I bought was used. A young guy was selling it because he needed the money. He said the gun had 50 rounds through it. The gun had a little holster wear. He admitted to practicing quick draws from the Kydex holster that came with the gun to me.
It’s a great revolver. I like it very much.

uugghh?!?! you definitely don’t work for the government with accountability like that
Actually I did work for the government 40 years ago in the DC metro area with accountability like that. It gets you transferred to the West Coast very fast.uugghh?!?! you definitely don’t work for the government with accountability like that
I have had the same experience.My newer ones (176-177 prefix) seem to have better actions, I have 4 that I bought brand new in the past 3 years, and out of those 4, I left the stock springs in 3 because they were perfect out of the box.
The older ones I have, (80's, 90's) seem like they needed a little bit of work to get "perfect".
Yet Canada banned handgun sales in 2022, and as such, Americans still suffer with ugly guns. I hate the 4.2" GP100 and the 4.25" Python doesn't appeal to me either.One change is that the 4" is now 4.2" in order to have no issues with Canadian law for minimum barrel length...
Canada outright banned handgun sales.Haven't the Canadians ratcheted-up restrictions to the point that the 4.2" thing not even a valid issue anymore?
ATCs are EXTREMELY RARE in Canada. So, basically Canadian gun owners can keep what they have and when they die. Their heirs are screwed.What the freeze means for individuals
Bill C-21 is not a national ban on handguns in Canada. Individuals can continue to possess and use their registered handguns and can sell or transfer their registered handguns to exempted individuals or businesses.
What the freeze means for businesses
Authorized retailers can continue to import and sell handguns to other businesses (e.g., gunsmiths, museums, valuable goods carriers, retailers, film and theatrical industry), and to law enforcement, defence personnel and exempted individuals.
Exempted individuals include:
- Anyone who holds an Authorization to Carry handguns.
- Individuals who train, compete or coach in a handgun shooting discipline that is on the programme of the International Olympic Committee or the International Paralympic Committee.

I have a GP-100 with a 178 prefix and I would have to agree with you. It is nice and smooth compared to what had to do to my SP-101 to get it to be decent. But now they are about the same.I have had the same experience.
By the serial numbers, I think the 178s will appear soon (100,000 per prefix).
Lost wax casting versus metal injection molding.I might be wrong, but I think the older ones had a solid trigger and the newer ones have the back of the trigger is somewhat hallowed out----should be easy to tell the difference.
