I own a carpet/terrazzo/tile/hardwood floor/marble/furniture/etc. business and i had an older gentleman trade me a Ruger GP100 with a 6" barrel and two hundred cash to do his twenty foot sectional(dry cleaned it), six hundred square feet of carpet, and five hundred square feet of hardwood floor. We were both happy about the deal, me especially because I had already grossed 2k before that job and it was only thursday. Of course my colleaugues in the business say I got ripped off but the guy wouldn't have gone for paying the cash. Instead I got a firearm I had been wanting but couldn't justify buying, my gas and chemicals, got covered, and I had some spending money when it was all said and done. And yes I spent the money taking the gun to the range and running the gun hard, as hard as one can go with Blazzer Brass 158 Grain JHP .357 magnum(supposed to only get 1250fps from their test barrels). Put at least a 150 rounds through it in one go and it's been a champ since, of course I cleaned it first.
Can anyone tell me if this is a half-lug, the guy didn't know anything about the gun other than it belonged to a buddy of his that got into some money problems and never paid him back. It's pictured here next to a S&W Model 15 4" that I got a good deal on at a gun show $240 if I remember right.
