I've got a 4 inch GP like the one in the first post but with the old style grips. Tight, shoots real good with 180gr Federal castcores, and I paid $300 FLAT, tax included.
My latest GP is a 3 inch Canadian police trade in. Good condtion, shoots right on with 158gr JHP .357s, and I paid a flat $420 (those fixed sighted 3 inchers are expensive!)
It has the smaller old style Ruger rubber grips I'm gonna replace with Eagle SS grips.
And both are very fine field guns.
