because there are other, more practical and more desired guns shooters want Ruger to make.If they did release a GP-100 in .25 ACP, how is that a bad thing for shooters?

I personally think a GP100 in .25 ACP would make an excellent defensive weapon for the elderly or infirmed.
My mistake. Correction noted and made.It (the 617) is actually a K-frame. Regardless, I consider mine one of my wiser firearm-related purchases, and I'd certainly consider this new one if I were in the market for another .22 revolver, especially if I already had a GP100 .357mag.
I always love to hear from the ".22lr is not a real gun folks" whenever someone posts about a full size revolver or semi auto in .22lr that costs as much as a "real gun in a real caliber".
I own many center fire guns, and reload for all of them, but whenever I go to the range (at least once a week) I always take a .22lr for practice and fun. I like high quality .22lr firearms.
To my way of thinking it is worth spending as much or more on a good .22lr than on a similar center fire gun.
They were just announced man. Give it a few weeks and they'll turn up.I already have the 8-shot SP-101 and I have an interest in the 10 shot GP-100 but I can't find one for sale.Nothing on GB.Who's selling them?
I really don't need one but I might want one.
Yup, I can attest to this that once you see something that's new or uncommon, buy it because it will disappear.Ruger generally produces a batch, ships them, then announces the release. They should be hitting the shelves before Christmas. I wouldn't wait very long if you really want one. I made that mistake with my SP101-22. I passed on the first one I saw, then decided I better buy it, went back the next day. Of course it was gone. It took 14 months before I saw another one.
Now they're selling for about $200.00 less than what I paid for mine.
Its just the chance you have to take.
I could see Ruger doing a 9 shot .22 Mag GP.If sales are decent, I wonder if they'll offer it in .22WMR down the road. Seems like a logical move. I would like to see a GP100 in a 5-shot 45 Colt.
I would imagine so. A ten shot GP-100 (Same style as the .22) in .22 Mag at a reasonable price would be something I would have to have.If anything should be offered in the GP, it should be a limited production .41 Magnum. It would sell out overnight.
