I have a SIG P226 .40, but I've decided lately that I prefer the simplicity of revolvers.  I'm looking at the Ruger GP100 1705 in particular.

I've always shot automatics. So revolvers feel...weird. Ti me at least.

Simplicity and power won me over.

That and I got tired of worrying about spring fatigue.

I had a .40 on back up, but boating accidents being what they are

He's possibly a ruger revolver man. He's alright in my book.

That's the same one I have.

Best revolver I've ever owned.

How smooth is the action?  Did it need any aftermarket gunsmithing?

Not as smooth as say, my model 65 is, but keep in mind I've got hundreds of full house magnums through that gun and I've worked the action a few thousand times.

My gp100 is still nearly new. It was a little tight at first. When I put it in full lockup and slowly let the trigger out I could hear the spring grind just a little, but after working the action over and over its gone.

The trigger pull is more than reasonable, but I prefer and am used to a heavy trigger pull so I might be biased. Firing from single action is smooth as butter, as you would expect. The grip on it is just phenomenal. Fills the hand up. The revolver itself is huge but the weight isn't any greater than my 65. The 4.2 inch barrel is perfectly balanced, and sits much better in the hand than other revolvers I've owned or shot.

It was dead accurate from the factory, so I haven't fooled with the sights. The cylinder lockup is everything they say it is. It's like stone. I don't ever see myself shooting this thing loose. Having the push button cylinder release on the side is much more comfortable than the smith/taurus design. Even on the old Colts you had to push the release backwards. All you have to do with the ruger is push in on the button. Easiest revolver to open. Takes almost not effort and there's no danger of slippage.

All in all its perfect for my needs. It's big, reliable, and solid as a rock. Just a grossly overbuilt piece of American steel that does exactly what it's supposed to right out of the box. By God I love it.

It's a good gun.

It's well designed and all American. Simple to use, simple to teach with. Shoots both light (38) and heavy (357) cartridges. Ammo is readily available in my area due to its non tactical nature. Speedloaders only cost $9 a pop, so 99% of all my gun money goes to ammo. All I gotta do is feed it, and she ain't ammo sensitive. If I need it to, the dang thing swings and hits like a hammer.

Rounds can sit in it forever and wear nothing down, and it's all backed by the best warranty service in the industry. I could go my whole life with just this gun. I'll have it til I die.

The holy sh!ts I get when people hold it are nice too.   

Now I just need an Alaskan in .44, cause you know, muto's and such.

The smooth pull on the action is soooooo satisfying.

Lawd have musseh,

Put some iron sights and a straight stock on that bad boy and I wouldn't say no to one.

I like marksman rifles. Something so satisfying about them. They take so much skill and talent to use. But then again, I have read close to a dozen sniper books. I've studied techniques developed by the Germans, the U.S. Marine Corps, Russians, Finnish, etc.

Absolutely fascinating stuff.

I was seriously considering the GP100 1771, but then I read some reviews saying that certain brands of ammo don't fit because Ruger didn't enlarge its cylinder to accommodate the higher capacity.  So I went back to the 1705 because I want to be able to use any .357 or .38 cartridge that I throw at it.

Beggars can't be choosers after the zombie apocalypse.

It's true. Thats why I picked up my 1705. Plenty of meat between those torpedo tubes.

The extra round is negligible to me. With speedloaders and speedstrips, I can have up to 30 rounds of 357 on me comfortably. If that doesn't handle it, then I've obviously engaged in combat with the devil himself. Heck, if 6 rounds of full house 357 magnums won't do it, I'm getting the hell outta dodge.

I haven't heard much about the 8 shot redhawk though. I was praying for an 8 shot Ruger 357 for years. I need to look into that one some more.

S&W has made them for years, but between their atrocious QC with their revolvers over the last few years and the fact that the cylinders are too short to accommodate all loads, I opted to wait for Ruger to step up.

Or Graboids, since you live in the town from Tremors and all.

No joke, the assault we get from the mutant moles around here leave our yards looking like they've had basketballs dragged under them. We actually have signs of large tunneling creatures everywhere.
