... which was also my first centerfire handgun, many years ago.

A few years ago, I remedied the situation, by getting another one. Mine was modified by the friend I bought it from: night sights, Wolff springs, and trigger tune. DA is as slick as those on my K-Frame Smiths, and the GP100's mass soaks up recoil very nicely.

For a range or woods gun, it's great.

For CCW, it's a bit bulky; if in a .357 revolver mood, I prefer to carry a 3" Model 13. The GP100 is about the same size, and uses the same holsters, as a Smith L-Frame.

So, it depends on what you want to do.
