Ruger GP100 in .44 special

[Walkalong]

They just unveiled a blued 5" half lug at Lipsey's.

Nice!

But that 3" SS unfluted is sweet as well.

Looking awesome!

Was looking at the 10mm offerings last night, torn between the 3” like that one or the 4.2” match Champion...

Probably won’t CCW it and the 4” is cheaper...

I need to go hold them I think

I think the 4.2 inch barrel will get noticeable more performance out of 10mm than the 3-inch barrel, especially with heavy for caliber loads. That said I really like the fixed sights on the Talo 3-inch version and the full underlug of the Talo version. A 4-inch with super low profile fixed sights machined into the frame like an old Security Six or some of the SP101 would be a pretty awesome combat revolver.

Nice!

Unfluted cylinder are the devil , especially when they charge me more for less machining. I don't like the aesthetics and there is no functional good reason to drop the flutes. If you're shooting lots of fast double action shooting it just slows you down, makes trigger pull slightly higher and harder on the lock works. YMMV

Somehow I doubt you'll ever feel the difference, unless you're Jerry Miculek.

For me, if it's not gonna have six flutes, leave it unfluted.

Agree with the barrel/sights assessment. However, I love the unfluted cylinder, wish the 10mm had an unfluted option

And that Lipseys looks rad

There is no accounting for tastes! Hence the YMMV. I think they make a revolver look unfinished and most of my revolvers are/where competition (USPSA or IDPA) guns so I am looking for any edge I can get.

Bring back the flutes!

So why did you ask if your mind was made up from the get go ?
