I don’t know why, but this was speaking to me

For the last couple of months, I have been wanting to get one of these. Lipsey’s exclusive 3” half lug SP101 in 327 Federal Magnum. Monday I noticed it was off of Ruger’s site, and Buds gun shop put them on sale… which made me think that the limited run was over. So.. I moved some funds around and it will hopefully be here this weekend.

Now I need to find a selection of 32S&W, 32Long, 32H&R, and 327 Mag…

There's something about that front sight and underlug treatment that's really nice, aesthetically.

32 S&W (short) are stupid fun to tinker with for some reason. I'm a big fan of the 32 in general. I like it.

Nice looking gun.
I'd skip the plain 32 S&W and just go with the longs.

NOICE!!! The small lug GP-100's are GREAT feeling guns.

The 3" fixed sight .357 and I have never intersected at the right time.

Too bad NN isn't on here anymore.

Speaking of him, anyone heard from him lately?

Like the gun a lot of not the chambering, really.

I see no point in it as a defensive chambering, but it’s a reloaders dream.

Shame bullsi doesn’t reload.

They do list it in .357 as well, and its still on Ruger's website:

Good point. I need to get dies for this.

Agreed. That and the adjustable sights are why I really liked this model over the standard stainless 3" bbl SP101

Yeah, but since it CAN fire them.... I need some!

One of my buddies is a .32 fanatic, and I'm blaming him for getting me interested in this.

I really like that! It is a great looking piece. Not a bad caliber and a good reason to spend more time in the reloading room. Win Win

Nice, my .357 GP100 is 1/2 lug. Speaking of .327 Federal, NN has not been on in a LONG time, anyone have his phone number?

I posted in the FB group and he responded this morning.
I am keeping track of things. We're OK. Just less time for the computer

That will be nice! Congrats. I'm a big .32 fan myself. Can't wait for the range report.

I wish Ruger would make a GP100 or a Sp101 in 32-20.
