Future of My GP100
I have a GP100 that I purchased just this year. I changed out the factory springs for the set from Wilson Combat, and added a Crimson Trace laser. I think it's a beautiful gun, but I'm not sure where it fits in my collection. Right now, it's my bedside gun. I like the idea of a bedside .357 Magnum when I might need to use it in the middle of the night. If there's a real threat, just grab, point, and pull the trigger.
However, I don't really like shooting it, it's a pain to clean, and ammo is expensive compared to 9 mm. Given that Ruger has discontinued this model, I'm wondering should I sell into a market starved of new production, or hold on to it. I have a 9 mm striker fired pistol I use for carry, and a shotgun in the closet, so it's not really needed, but since when does need have anything to do with it 😄.
So, what do you think?
