It was a good week, two purchases
I purchased a Ruger GP100 from a member here, it arrived at my FFL a few days later. Thanks CQB60, it was a pleasure.

I already ordered the Zebra wood grips before it got here

When I went to pick it up my FFL had a P226 Elite all stainless in the display case. I had to have it, I have this thing for all stainless guns. Big Grin The Equinox grips were won here in a karma. Now to find time for the range

Love the wood grips on the GP
That's a sweet looking 226 as well

Not a bad week at all

Been looking for a short extractor 226 stainless Elite recently.

Seem to definitely be a minority compared the the longer version.

OK, bonus for me. Just did some reading on short vs long, I wasn't aware. BTW, this one dates from 2012

The 226 is pretty for sure, but the Beretta in the background… I’m loving it!

I have not seen many revolvers with Novak style sights, looking pretty good!

I love that P226 Elite! Congrats and kind of a neat serial number too! I wish I would have picked up several of those back in the day. Too heavy to carry IMO, but great shooters and they have and only will continue to go up in value.

Thank you for sharing!

You will love that Wiley Clapp GP100. Mine wears the compact grips and it is always a revolver favorite to me.

I wouldn't call that a good week, I would call that a great week. Very nice.
