GP’s are great shooters. I liked the original grips better than the current ones. The fixed sight grips a little smaller. Here are mine with a custom insert compared to the full size grips.
Those look great. I have large hands so I prefer the larger grips. As far as I’m concerned the GP 100 is a great pistol no matter what configuration it is in.
Tell me about it. I am 6’7" and have large hands. The smaller grips are not really that small. Just a little smaller than stock. To me they are more controllable then the larger grips.
Very nice revolvers. I love my GP100.
The Clapp edition is a nice setup. I really like the high profile dovetail sights. 3" barrels are, IMO a goldilocks setup for a revolver. The are short enough to conceal, but long enough to give a decent sight radius. Additionally, a 3" barrel gives you enough length to have a full-size ejector rod.
One of my favorites…

I am really enjoying mine! They seem to be quite popular. Got it out on the range today, saying I’m impressed is an understatement. I think this will become my daily carry-- once I find a holster for it I like.
I got to fondle one of these at a gunshow last weekend. Very nice. Do want.
They shoot just as good as they look.
god, i’ve almost been tempted to sell one of my P30’s for one of these or an R8…sooo not a good idea, but man i love the looks of this:meeting: pistol
I have never seen a GP100 that was really accurate nor a Redhawk or Super Redhawk for that matter.
I’d say you’ve not looked hard enough then and I’d imagine there would be a lot of owners who would say differently, myself included. Not that this has anything to do with the thread at all.
Let me guess you are a S&W fan
Very nice, I like it! :big_boss:
I love ruger revolvers. Just picked up a standard gp100 4".
The front sight on the Wiley, is that special piece for that gun or does ruger offer it as a seperate part for sale?
There are a few out there. Here is one I found with a quick search.

Here’s my Chris Peters wrenched-on blued GP100-he did a magnificant job going through the revolver. His work, a set of Millett sights (Orange Bar front, white outline rear) a set of mix-and-match Wolff springs (I went with a 10# mainspring and an 8# trigger return spring, with complete relliability, thanks to Chris’ work), and the Ruger OEM small grip (that was standard-issue with the fixed-sight GP100s)(the OEM large one is there as well, but rarely used-both grips have custom Letts laminate inserts) make for a smooth, acurate, durable and reliable revolver. Chris also installed his “+P Powder Eater” terraced/stepped rear ejector star, which significantly avoids any powder/GSR blow-back from tying things up-very nice, since my primary carry and competition loads are .38 Special +P.
Best, Jon

That is a beautiful pistol. I’d love to put a few rounds down range with it. Thanks for letting us see it.
I’m a S&W guy but after finger banging the Wiley Clapp GP100 I was impressed. Woulda bought it if I had the $$$.
