I have a GP 100 also. I killed a doe with it last year using open sights but have been thinking about adding a scope of some type. Please let us know how well it shoots with the 2X and how well you like the no drill mount.

I would also like to know how you like the 10 inch barrel for your contender and why you chose a 357 mag instead of a 44 mag.

I have been thinking about buying a CVA OPTIMA pistol in either a 44 mag or 357 mag but not sure which to get.

Mark wrote a great article on the 44 mag version of the pistol.
