Nice! Now get yourself a buffing wheel, polishing compound, and make it shine! I also took a nice thin diamond file to the trigger and trigger guard, and smoothed out all the sharp edges before polishing. Made a world of difference on the comfort factor. And, it helps you get in touch with your inner child.....
Smoothing the edges is a great idea,It's a wee bit sharp in places.
As to the shiny bling I think not.
Thanks for all comments,My grandkids and great greandkids will get this one
I didn't go for the super shiny bling look, just a basic polish, cleaned up the edges (that's what started it) and some Coco Bola grips from Hogue. Also, I painted the front sight, orange fingernail polish is much more rugged than I would have thought, so it is in keeping with Ruger! The flash kills the pics though, it is much nicer in person. I'm not a photographer by any stretch....

Some very nice pieces guys. Here's photos of an older blued version I picked up a couple years ago.
And here, fully 'clothed' and in the company of a relative, the early model SS Ruger SP 101 in .22LR.

That blued is very nice John..congrats
I just got a made in February this year GP100.
I must say I might be in love,It shoots amazing and is quite accurate.
I've put on Williams fire sights,wolf spring kit and old school grips with stag inserts.
I really like that fibre optic front sight. I forget that it is easy to change on Ruger.

Looks good. With the white grips it sure would look good polished. Maybe someday I will need to buy a stainless one and do it up.
