This is a 357 that I bought at a police supply place. My daughter loves the GP-100s and wanted this one but it was pretty rough. It was cold here today so I decided to clean it up a bit. I used a file on the edges to try and get the major nicks out. Then i used a sanding sponge to get as much of the surface scratches out and followed up with a fine Scotch Brite pad. Replaced the rear sight with a new factory replacement and finished up with some rams horn inserts from Sack Peterson. Not a new gun but it aint bad for less than $300 (not counting inserts). She likes the looks. I think she will like shooting it. Before pics:     After:     |

Thanks yall! I am pleased with how it turned out. Good rescue there ! Lots of life left as others have said. Maybe an F/O front sight ? I ordered a new front sight when I ordered the rear, and they sent the wrong one. I will get around to installing another one before I give it to her, either a brass bead or a fiber optic. |

Looks great, Joe! Good luck with the brass bead front sight - Ruger no longer makes them; don't makes no sense. |

"Good luck with the brass bead front sight - Ruger no longer makes them; don't makes no sense." From Lipsey site: lipseys.com/itemdetail.aspx?itemno=RUGP35751 SIGHTS:Gold Bead Front/Adj Rear The new GP100 on Lipsey's web site has them with a gold bead front.  |
