4" GP 100 value
What do estimate as the value of a 4" stainless GP 100? I would call its condition very good to excellent. It's had no work, e.g., trigger job or anything. I might approach a guy about it.

I paid 450.00 for a GP100 4 inch stainless a year ago (very lightly used).
I believe the best answer to your question is that any item is 'worth' exactly what another person is willing to pay for it. Best of luck with your GP100. |

Yeah, it's true that the market decides value. I wanted to get an idea of what is a reasonable starting point. I bought my 6" blued half-shroud 7 years ago for $375 as a consignment. It had a great trigger job and I'm pretty sure the cylinder was reamed as well. The book value is still what I paid.

It varies. They can be had for cheap but they sell in the $450-$500 range fairly often. If you can hold out, someitmes they can be had cheaper. I paid $325 2-3 years ago for a 4" stainless, great shape with the wood insert grip style (pre-Hogue) with a holster. However, this is obviously not the norm.
I think $450-$500 is a fair going rate right now, in the Phoenix area (private sales).

...So, what'll it do? (just a tad off topic)
I'v got to ask, and I think you guys know the answer: Will all revolvers chambered for the .327 safely shoot a .32? Yes, it IS an elderly person question.

I think 450 +/- is a good price. Paid 550 for a SS 4" once then traded up +$100 a few years later for a SS 6"er.

Well, it's moot. He's attached to it. I understand; I would have a hard time giving up mine as well.

But here's your answer: a .327 Federal Mag will safely shoot: .32 H&R Magnum .32 Smith & Wesson Long .32 Smith & Wesson ...will also SAFELY shoot a .32 Auto, but will not reliably shoot them or reliably eject them all the time. As the .32 Auto is a semi-rimmed case, you may not get them to eject easily and you don't always have the reach to reliably ignite them. But if they do discharge, it's not a safety issue. People use these other calibers as a "selling point" for the .327 Federal...but none of that ammo is cheap, really, and just often -- it's unavailable. For those who don't want the outrageous blast however, any of them are a lot easier and more peaceful to shoot than .327 Federal Magnum.
