Saw a Thread over on the Ruger Forum, and now its got me "Jonesing" for a Ruger GP100 in 10mm
Never (really) was that interested in the S&W 610 .... not a big Smith and Wesson Fan
Shot different 610s, several times over the years and they never held my interest long enough to look into buying one
But for some reason I AM QUITE interested in the 10mm GP100
Or, maybe it's just as simple as Dana Delany said it in Tombstone; "I want one"
We own several Ruger Wheelguns: 2 Redhawks, and 3 SPs, so I am short a GP or 2
Yeah, I know, there's a 10mm Redhawk, but there again, I have never been a Fan of the "Super"s Barrel / extended Frame design either
Now if Ruger offered the 10mm in their standard Redhawk Frame, you wouldn't be reading this Post !

With the existence of the 10mm GP100, there is really no point in a 10mm Redhawk, IMO.
If you're going to pack that much more weight, you might as well have the benefit of more power in the .44 mag or 45 Colt. Can't help talk you out of the GP100. It's currently the most power you can get out of a revolver that size, and still have 6 rounds on tap. Good trigger, good balance of power to weight, and great grips. I'm quite happy with mine.

Afternoon DenStinett, yep, I like them a lot too. Had I not recently picked up the Sig P220 Hunter, I would get one

Thanks Guys
Have the Redhawk in .357 and .44
In-fact, I've paired the .44 up with my 99/44 Deerfield, for a very cool Combo
35 Rounds of .44 Magnum goodness:

Sounds like you already have the revolver needs covered but, then again, need has nothing to do with a gun purchase!

True .... I definitely Do Not need it   
I have three, 10mm Pistols, a 10mm Carbine ....  BUT .... still no 10mm Revolver

It sounds to me like you're missing out on 33% of the 10mm experience.

I have owned a 3" GP-100 Wiley Clapp 10mm for a couple years now.  I bought it to supplement my 10mm SR1911 but the revolver gets carried twice as often. It's just a nice well rounded little packing pistol.

So at least I can say I TRIED to say "NO" to it ! ! !
" Yeah, you need it twist that Arm, just a bit more ! "
" That's it, now you're getting it "

Lol, That's how it usually works for me too 😀

I have both a GP100 and a S&W 610 and the 610 is a more refined and more accurate weapon, period.

The Smith is smoother and I can hold a 3" or less group at 25 yards freehand with the Smith. I can't touch that with the GP100.

If you are considering a 10mm revolver you should consider the Smith as well.

OK, now I have to confess, I'm missing out on 33% of the fun.  I don't have a 10mm long gun or "large frame pistol" or SBR.  That Deerfield Carbine in 10mm would be just the ticket.  Wonder who you'd need to bribe over at Ruger.

We need to get Auto-Ordnance to offer their M1 in 10mm again
Actually, having someone start production of the M1 Carbine again would be cool too
It's a great platform for the 10mm

...I'll give you another nudge to buy a GP100/10mm...  Bought one the first month they came out and it is an excellent gun.

Using .40 S&W is an option but I had to get the thicker clips from TK Custom and the easy to load factory clips were too thin to headspace correctly...

My only regret is not buying a WC 3" while they were out there...
