Thanks! I'd like to see how the sight installation looks. Is there a sight channel cut in at all?

Had my GP100 more closely resembled that one, I might still own it. They are a great base gun. OP's is well done.

What do you use?

I made a holster for it. This was my first attempt at holster making. Made a few mistakes but learned a lot. I'll make another after the holidays when I get a little free time.

Love the concept and execution, but wonder the value of a heavy, short barrel, limited capacity revolver in .357? Now if this was a .44 magnum .....

Six shot revolvers have served folks well for many years. As far as the effectiveness of the 357, I think it will handle my needs just fine

We have one in our shop and I really like it except for one thing; the finish. I can't stand bead-blast finish. Once it get's dirty, it stays dirty. I'd also change out the grips but I can change them fairly easy. Everything else though is pure awesome, especially the sights.

Let me try this again, without raining on your parade -- this same set-up in .44 magnum, regulated for the 300 plus grain hard cast magnum loads, would make a terrific Alaska revolver.
