Range Report on Gemini Customs GP-100

[bigmike45]

Well here as promised is the range report for my GP-100. The rain slacked off enough for me to sneak out and get some rounds off.


145gr. Winchester Silvertip @ 15 yards is a very controlable load to shoot in this gun. It seems to really like the bullet weight and powder combo. Shooting freehand was easy to return to target.


This one is 24 handloads with Hogdon 110 powder and 158gr Keith type SWC, as fast as I could get on target and reloading using three speed loaders. I also shot 6 MagTech 158gr. JHP's I had laying around......not bad at all. Both shot at 15yards freehand, Weaver stance.


The last was some Federal 180gr. JHP Whitetail Loads at 25 yards sitting with my elbows resting on my knees. Not a very good group, but with this load, I found I have to hold at 6 o'clock to hit the bullseye


All in all I am very pleased with the outcome. I must say that Marc Morganti's work has made this gun very pleasurable to shoot and well worth the investment.

Nice gun. I have a similar set up. Mine is a DAO bobbed hammer as well. It is a true 2 1/2" bbl that has been slab sided. I polished the gun to a mirror finish as well. It makes a decent carry gun but it is still heavy. I can shoot full house .357 mags in comfort though.

I have tried every grip from Rosewood Eagles and Hogue wood finger groove grips to Hogue and Pachmyer rubber grips. The best grips I hav found are the Uncle Mikes grips that you have mounted. They are good grips. I bought mine at a local sporting goods store on clearance for $6.00. I didn't expect much but they are darn fine grips for the money.

Hello, sir. Like yourself, I am a fan of the GP100 w/3" bbl and it sure looks like you have a fine custom example that is a shooter. Like your gun, mine hits POA at 15 yards or so with Winchester 145-gr. STHP's.

Best.
