Alternate title of this post was going to be:
"Have you ever owned a revolver that seems too beautiful to shoot?"
I just picked up this piece yesterday. Was not cheap and I had to drive into the boonies 2:20 hr one way.
Only 589 ever made!
These are the specs:
Ruger GP100 Royal Phoenix 357 Magnum
it came with a lot of extras a nice holster and a bunch of speed loaders:
The pics don't do it justice :kiss1:
The blueing is very deeply lustrous and mirror like and the trigger and hammer are mirror polished Stainless.
This also makes the trigger action act like it's had a trigger job.
After I got it even though I love it I almost regretted getting it since i am not sure I will dare shoot it.
I have another GP 100 4 inch in stainless which is my workhorse for handgunning and its feel/balance etc is identical.
I adjsuted the rear sights by look to match the ones on my exisitng 4 inch GP as a crude form of "dry zero"
The gun has been shot so little the cylinder line is barely noticable.
it has not seen a lot of use and is LNIB with no scratches to be found <anywhere>
The box even includes the spare front sight ( standard RUger style) and several different color inserts with the tools to change them for the fiber optic insert in the high viz front sight.
I am tempted to just frame it and hold it in reserve as a near new GP 100 for SHTF.
The pics are form previous owner I cant find my camera but will post up once i taken more pics
it hard to describe the feeling of this gun.
I touch and feel this gun and i think to me..
if I ever die with a hand gun in my hand please God let it be this one..
