I think it works great!, but you may get some other opinions.


The grips are factory. They used the wood insert rubber grips on the earlier GP100 and the Hogue grips on the later ones. I picked this one up lightly used for $300 a few years back. It is chambered in .357mag and it had such a heavy ring in the cylinder that it wouldn't chamber a .357 which leads me to believe it was used exclusively for .38spl. I purchased it as a woods gun for dragging through the rain and mud when working on the property.

I have hand load that I make just for small pests and snakes. I place a cardboard wad over the powder, fill with #9 shot the seat and crimp a 000 buckshot ball on top. Since the 000 buck is .350" I have a special tool I made for my press to flatten and swage the ball to .358" with a slight point on the tip. The loads work great on snakes, armadillo, opossum and beavers.
