I have one and it is my favorite handgun. Accurate and solid... and did I mention "Accurate" 
Hogue rubber finger groove grips are recommended for shooting .357 full loads as the gun tends to slip due to the recoil with the factory grips. Oh, and I swaped the hammer and trigger springs with Wilson Combat reduced load springs.
My buddy claims it now shoots better than his Python.

I have to second Griffoneurs points.
I have a 4 inch stainless model.
It is by far the most accurate revolver or handgun that I have ever shot. I too have the hogue rubber grips.
Great choice.

Wifey know what she wants. I have a 4" GP100 that like others have stated, is a tack driver. Although I'm a big fan of S&W's, I wouldn't trade this GP for a Smith. The trigger is stock but it is also very smooth, smoother than a few K-frames that I've had, which are known for the best out of the box triggers. The stock grip is perfect, at least for me, balance is superb and it's a durable gun that will last forever. Finally, used prices don't reflect the actual value, they are underpriced.

Have one in stainless. Love it to bits. Dead accurate. A pleasure to use.
Don Hume makes nice holsters for a 6" GP-100 (If you were wondering about usage in IDPA and similar shooting disciplines.)
I use a GP-100 and suffice to say that If I could find a decent drop leg platform for it, I'd use it in 3 gun matches

I've had my 4" since the GP first came to Canada. It's the only revolver I've ever had that did not need a change of grips to fit my hand. A trigger job is required. That's not a big deal though. It's easily done. All the internal parts are SS and polish nicely. You can change the spring too if you want. Helps make the DA smoother and lighter.
Make sure your wife knows they're heavy too.
"...find a decent drop leg platform for it..." Make your own. Tandy's sells a holster making book(How to Make Practical Pistol Leather, by J. David McFarland) with a "Poor Man's Border Patrol" holster pattern for a 6" S&W M-19 that easily adapted to a GP.

If you're going to cut it down, cut it to 105.1mm
12.6 is 105mm or less, so 105.1mm is "legal"
