GP100 vs. Taurus 608

[Mr.357Sig]

+1 here. I'd never trade a Ruger revolver for ANY-THING made by Taurus. Period. End of story.

If I were in your shoes, I'd save up some extra cash and trade the Ruger in for a S&W 327NG. Eight rounds of .357 Mag in a tough-as-heck N-frame with XS front sight? Oh, yeah. That is the freakin' ticket.

I have a deep passionate love for my gp100, and if you could see the fireballs it makes with compressed win.296 loads you would too. If i tried to fire any of those loads in a Taurus i am positive i would come out with less fingers than i went in with . you don't need 7 or 8 rounds.... just one of mine, even if i miss it will blind them and give me time to beat them to death with its sturdy 4 pound frame.

Ruger , no contest

Ruger. If you run out of ammo you can beat them to death with the GP. That thing is a tank.

 

[GUN DOG]

ruger hands down

 

[john918]

its not even a choice,id never give up a ruger for a taurus and the gp100 is a tank

 

[RETOKSQUID]

Have shot and like both, but given a choice of one or the other I would take the GP 100, hands down any day.

No way I'd dump a Ruger for any form of Taurai. Just practice with your speedloaders.

I'd like this a hundred times if I could.

If you need more ammo, either practice loading faster, or get an auto. For the weight and bulk of a 4" GP100 (assumption as they are the most common), you could get into a Glock 17 and have a smaller gun in every dimension, save nearly a pound (!!!), and get an extra 10 rounds.
