Hello all. Long-time lurker and first time poster. This is a great community you have here, and I've picked up a wealth of information. Thanks!
Anywho, I've been in the market for a new nightstand/car/camping revolver to compliment my wonderful (but big and heavy) Smith Model 610.
After visiting several local shops and endless hours reading online, I've determined that Ruger's 3 inch GP100 is about perfect for my intended use. Problem is, they seem a bit difficult to find. Of the three local shops I've been to in the last week, I've come across 5 NIB 4 inch GP's, but the only 3 inch I've found is an extremely worn half-lug model marked "VT State Police", and I'd much prefer a new gun.
I want to order one, but every employee I've asked at these shops told me the 3 inch is no longer being made by Ruger, which seems to contradict Ruger's 07 catalog and their website.
Anyone else have any additional information? I don't really want a 4 inch model, as I already have a great gun for the range, and Smith's 686 just doesn't feel as good in my hands. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
