half-lug gp100

[JEB]

this past weekend i attended a gun show and found two different tables selling a type of gp100 i hadn't seen before. half-lug, blued, smooth wood grips, 357 magnum, with a 6 round cylinder. for the life of me i cant find anything about this variation. i see on the ruger sight that there is a Lipsy's distributor exclusive that is almost exactly what i found, except they are only listed as 327 and 44 special. does anybody have information on the model i found? is this a new model?

Also a Lipsey's exclusive, .327, .357 and .44Spl.

i assumed as much but wasnt sure. curious that it isnt shown on the ruger website

The Ruger website is pretty far from all-inclusive.

They're an excellent thumper.

Original 4" GP-100 half lugs were KGPF-340 (SS) and GPF-340 (Blued)

Built in the 80's...

Ruger doesn't seem to show some of the dealer exclusives like my model 1740 5" GP-100 either. Search Lipsey's. It's a nice 5" GP at 39oz. an ounce less than the 4" GP full lug.

i have a gp100 6 inch blued half lug. bought it used. i like the balance. the trigger feels different than my newer gp100 it feels like it cams over
