I like the GP100. I don't own one, but you're right, Rugers are built like tanks, and accurate to boot. Of course, the fit and finish isn't as "perfect" as a S&W (usually a Smith costs $200-300 more anyway) but the finish flaws are 99% of the time too small to notice anyway. Great choice for a wheel gun, and I'm hoping to add one to my collection soon.
As far as prices go, my local shop sells the 4" SS GP100 new for $550, they had a used one for $450 which I bought. Had fun with it for a month or so at the range, decided I wanted something more so I recently placed it on consignment for $450 and it was sold within 2 weeks. I miss it sometimes but it helped pay for my SRH Alaskan 44 mag which is an absolute blast at the target range
I have the same gun, stainless 6" barrel, and really like it. I bought mine new locally about 2 years ago for right about $600-610, including tax. BudGunshop website shows 4 stainless GP100's,used, ( all sold) going for $439-459, so yeah, $506 new is pretty good.
The six inch full lug version in blue was my first GP100. I loved it. I used it solely for a plinker and range gun and had a great time with it. I even put a 2x scope on it for range work just to see how well it shot. I was able to (off the sandbag) put all six rounds in a raggad hole with it at 25m...impressive.
