Looking for a revolver 357mag in 3 or 4in. I prefer stainless and am looking hard at Ruger, especially the GP100 model. Would like to stay around 400$ Can it be done? or am I dreaming? Anything wrong with Rugers?:whistling:

not a damn thing wrong with Rugers. Of the stock 6 wheels, Ruger and S&W are the best.
Gunbroker has one for $399 (an unheard of price) new

it only has 24 minutes left so act now.
A nice revolver IMHO - at $400 I think that you are talking 'lightly used' which is not a bad thing.
Definately doable.
Lightly used, especially.
My 6" GP100 was $375 new, but that was back in '99. They've gone up a lot since then. For $400, shop around for a used one.

That gun isn't new.

I'd suggest a GP 100.
Lots of people do NOT like Taurus/Rossi but I've had plenty of luck with their revolvers. They are usually had for a decent price as well. That can be another option though.

As tough as Rugers are, I'd go used on a GP. Just look it over carefully...
Used 586 and 686s are often in the $350-$450 range in my neck of the woods.

Mine's not stainless, but I found a VERY GENTLY used 4" blued GP100 for $300.... At Gander Mountain.
So, yes, it's definitely do-able if you're patient enough...and are in the right place at the right time.
