I'm usually a full lug kind of guy, but I actually like that revolver. Hopefully we see them in Canada this decade.

what does the half lug mean?
cut down on the meat on the barrel?

The barrel looks kind-of octagonal which is not my preference, but the grips are nice. For $899.00 I could get a new S&W 686 on sale.

My GP100 looks fine how it is right now, but it is nice to see innovation take place for new and exciting products.

If it was made available I would have bought one or two already.

What I find interesting is the use of semi-auto's dove-tailed front/rear sights

Called this.
The Match Champion™ Model is designed with the competitor in mind. With its ergonomic enhancements and tuned action, the Match Champion™ delivers fast, accurate shots and takes the popular GP100® to the next level. It features a contoured cylinder, Novak® Lo-Mount Carry rear sight and fiber optic front sight, Hogue® hardwood grip with stippled sides and a slab-sided, half-lug target crowned barrel.

Wow somebody post the picture of the 3" version of it. (Don't have my photobucket login right now)

Looks sharp, I don't have a revolver yet, hopefully Ruger availability becomes a little more consistant. Really like those grips.

Holy !
Now I want a fourth 357.

Thats actually quite nice. I wonder if they're going to cancel it like my high polished blue GP100 was.

 

[v-king]

Not sure....gotta sleep on it for a while. Looks kinda a cool but I 've always liked the full underlug

 

[Element115]

pretty nice

 

[Crazy Chaingun]

Sweet mercy, I hate it.

Please tell me that they are not going to do this on all of the GP100's.
I love the full underlug, to do away with it would be sacrilege!

 

[black sunshine]

Ya nice but ive been waiting for the 4.2" sp101 357 mag for years now .
might not see this baby for 5-10 years

 

[Element115]

dam that is pretty nice i had to come back to take another look, i think im pregnant.

 

[Pancake81]

I like it, I would be torn between the Sp in .357 or this.

 

[handofzeus]

Damn, I love it! Looks like a little Redhawk. As much as I love my Gp100 I never could get past that bevelled front on the underlug. That's the only reason I won't buy a Jericho, that stupid bevel.

Nice!

Competition model with slab side half lug barrel.

Love those Hogue wood grips.

I'm generally a S&W guy, but this one has me intrigued.
