Here's one of her songs - not bad, some talent, would have been nice to see where she went.


I used to follow Canadian music quite a bit, especially from the Maritimes. The Rankin Family is still one of my all time favorites.

 During the later years of the Indian wars their was a Lakota named Eesatay, It translates as "Wolf shit".
Don't know what made me think of that.
FQ, you can't go wrong with the GP 100. But I know what you mean about them being scarce. I spent 4 months, money in hand, looking for one, settled for a S&W model 13 which is also a good pistol. Though not as tank like as the Ruger it was about $150 less used.

About 2 years ago was in a Gun Store in Tacoma and saw a stainless 6" GP100. Had a Security 6 decades ago and its timing was never just right and far from a S&W trigger pull.
Anyways, was handed the gun and that was that - bought it right there.
Had the best trigger I ever tried on a stock revolver action - butter.

Take down on GP100

Yep, same here. It is something I want, but its going to have to be the right configuration at the right price. I can find them on-line, but add the $50 transfer fee and $35 shipping....it really negates the savings, as no one wants to sell them cheap once they own one. Unlike AKs and ARs and The Judge and others, its not a piece where folks impulse or panic buy and suffer buyers remorse.Once you have a Ruger wheel gun, you don't want to sell it. I will find that SS Gp-100 though, then coyotes beware. ;D In the mean time I will happily make due with my Glocks.

Less than 500 bucks, don't whine now about shipping and FFL's

Here's 2. Wish I had my Police Service Six Back :'(

Ask and ye shall receive! Damn TW, I hadn't looked at GA for awhile as I was sort of shopping locally for this. Anybody have any thoughts as to the "3 vs 4" for a woods/house gun? There is a lot of info out there saying that 4' is as good as 6" accuracy wise despite the shorter sight plane. Is this true with 3" vs 4"? I'm not looking for ccw here, but its a nice option if the sacrifice is minimal.

4 inch.  With practice you can hit a man size target at 100 yards and it's still short enough for IWB ccw.

That's my basic instinct as well. I was hoping to find one used with some cosmetic dings for $350-$400, but NIB for less than five is very tempting.

My dearly departed Ruger Police Service Six, with a 4 inch bull barrel ,was the shinizzle when it comes to an all purpose kick ass revolver.

The GP100 is as good as it gets.

Size does matter, and the 4 inch gives you that "extra" reach should you need it.

Damn coyote's won't stand a chance. While hiking, camping, at home, with a couple of speedloaders, it just works as an all around great pistol. "Top 10" best revolvers IMHO. Maybe Top 5

Another advantage of the GP 100 is it is the only revolver I know of that has the front sight dovetailed so you can replace it with a fiber optic for better visibility with out machining.
