Tequila's Gun
Anyone ever see Hard Boiled?
Tequila (Chow Yun Fat) plays a cop in it and uses a Ruger GP100 with 4" barrel, blued, with the old Lett wood insert grips. Extremely cool. This is one of the very best action movies I have ever seen. Makes me want the exact model! The GP100 hasn't got near as much screen time as the Colts or S&Ws, but it shines in this movie. I recently sold my 6" stainless GP, just too big and a little too muzzle heavy, but I really loved that gun and man was it ever smooth after the thousands of rounds and dry fire sessions I had with it. Might well have to get another one of these! Anyone else shoot a GP100? I think I might be like Tequila and pick one up soon!! |

"...after the thousands of rounds and dry fire sessions..." That wear, not a trigger job.
What you see in movies is not real. Don't think that's a GP either. Grip isn't right. Hard to tell from the picture, but that wood in the lower one isn't a GP grip. Had mine since they first came to Canada 35 + years ago.

Hard Boiled is a great shoot 'em up. Fun movie, one of John Woo's best.

Nice thing about a revolver in the movies, it takes no modification or special effects to shoot blanks.

"What you see in movies is not real", I don't recall saying that it was. Just pointing out the use of a fine Ruger revolver in a well known movie, as the GP100 is a rare gun in film. Just thought I'd mention it, you know, for fun. Also, what do you mean by "that wear, not a trigger job"? |

If you click on the link I provided earlier it's most definitely a GP 100

I have only seen one blue GP in person and it was a 6" barrel. Now if it was a 4" it would of come home with me, good luck on your next purchase.
