Well, I finally got it!!! - 05/12/2015 2:25 AM
A stainless 6" GP-100, that is.
I've been wanting one a couple years now. Kept talking myself out of it. Saying it wasn't worth the cost and being as I already had a 4" GP-100.......not enough difference.
Then, thinking I would be better served with a 10" barrel in .357 Mag for my G2 Contender......I had MGM build me one. I love it. But..........I still wanted that 6" GP-100 in the back of my head. Then.......all of a sudden........Midway had a clearance sale on their 2x Burris pistol scope. It would be perfect on a GP!!! I resisted..............they lowered the price............I resisted some more..........they lowered the price more............1 left...........I caved.
Well, I had the scope. So, I ordered the Weigand base. Now, I had both. Time to start shopping.
I looked for 2 months. Only place with a stainless 6" was GunBroker and they wanted more than I was willing to pay. Finally, after daily searching..........BudsGunShop got them in stock.
SOLD!!!
It was delivered today. Within minutes of getting it home, I had the scope mounted.
That Weigand base is stupid simple to mount!
It will fit in the same Blackhawk Shoulder Holster as my Ruger Toklat. Perfect!
Plan is to load 158gr Hornady XTP bullets for this gun.
Those should do nicely for deer and pigs out to 75 yards or so. I will be loading the 180gr Hornady XTP bullets in my 10" barreled G2 Contender pistol. Those should push to 125yards, I hope.
Well, my .357 Mag collection is finally complete.

I'm a happy camper. Time to get loading! I have two guns that need loads worked up...............
