1) What do you own: KGP-141
2) Grips? Hogue Mono grips. I have the rubber one for field use and I have the Pau Ferro top finger groove only for carry. I am one of those who can't stand the factory grip.
3) What loads do you use? I almost never use .38Spl. I have settled on 158 gr Gold Dots for carry and Winchester 180gr PG for field work.
4) Any modifications? The trigger group and the hammer are mirror polished via Dremel on all mating surfaces. Mirror polished the trigger return spring guide hole. Wolff springs 10# main and 10# return. I have factory, Hi-Viz and Mepros sights for it. I rounded off the edges on the backside of the trigger. Finally, I sanded off the "safety billboard" and voided my warranty since I wasn't using it.
5) What would you like Ruger to do differently
for the GP100?
A list:
Sell parts over the counter.
Make the ejector rod shape, and feel, more positive and less cheesy. The only part of Colt's and S&Ws I envy are the distant ends of their ejector rods. (Not the design of them by any means, just the knurled nob.)
Offer a premolten (dehorned) GP-100 for concealed carry (yeah that'll happen).
Smooth the "internal" surfaces of the ejector rod housing and the top strap.
Make the blue ones "blued" and not "painted."
6) Holster(s): Uncle Mike's nylon for the field, Haugen leather for the street.
7) Speed Loader: Bianchi Speed Strips for serious carry and reloading practice. HKS for field/range fun.
