I'll stock with my Smith. Nice shooter indeed. I wish S&W was building them again, but if they did it would probably have that confounded lock. Don't get me wrong, I love my 24-3 and my 624, but having Ruger build some new 44 Special Double Action revolvers is a good day for many of us. Especially a 3" carry gun. B

B Preach it Brother, preach it! I'll drink this kool-aid! Nice carry piece Indeed. Heck, it would make me a wheel gun carrier Fo-Sure!!! It would be a might easier to ÇCW over my 6" 29-2 or Bisley foty-fo SPL... You Scoundrel you BigBore44

I MUST SAY, the one pictured trips my trigger just fine. That UNfluted cylinder is Right Sexy and, a 3" bbl will make for a right nice carry piece!!! A 5"-6" down the road Will work to! Ahhhhh yes, that's a right mighty fine lookin 5 shooter if'n I do say so myself.... Sign me up for one,,,, of each Agreed, I will pick one up as soon as they become available, for me down the road I would like a 4" I just have a thing for 4 inch Bbls.

Jason at Lipseys posted a pic of a target shot with one of the new GP44s. I own a Model 69 Smith and love it. But I will also own a GP44. A 250gr slug at 1,000fps works for me, all day long. 3" barrel makes it easier to wear while seated and very little velocity loss to a 4". Sign me up!

They are supposed to start shipping next week.
The 8 shot 357 Redhawk sounds like it will be a round butt 2.75" "kODIAK bACKPACKER" configuration.

I think this is awesome!!! That would be a great self-defense revolver.

I've had one since the summer and it's a nice little package that shoots well.

You guys are killin' me ! Am still bonding with the new M69(it's going well) that I bought because I gave up on seeing a GP44spec. Bleep. Well, the mag length hulls mean more rice or bird shot and still a bit more on the top end, performance-wise. I do like the sights and 3" barrel though. Sigh. May have to dig out the ski mask and make a large withdrawal somewhere....news at 11.

Hi... Probably gonna have to get me one of these...would prefer a somewhat longer barrel(4 or 5" barrel). However, this 3" unit won't be a deal breaker depending on how it feels when I see one up close and personal at the local gun shops. Don't really need another .44Spl, but I have never owned a GP although I have shot one extensively.
Guess my bank account is going to take a bit of a hit because of this announcement.
Thanks Ruger...been hearing rumors about this for some time. Guess I will have to put my money where my mouth is and buy one of these. And some leather to carry it in and a couple of speed loaders. at least, I already have reloading dies.

I'm not Whit but both of these handguns are headed to MO as we speak. Will be doing an article for AMERICAN HANDGUNNER. Looking forward to shooting these short barreled rigs. Cheers -- Mark
