I am looking at picking up a new GP100 4" stainless for the wife this weekend. I have a couple of questions. Out of the box, can I generally expect it to shoot lead bullets without leading to beat the band (I don't cast my own) or am I looking at having to fire lap it like my 45 Bisley? Also, have the cylinders been sized appropriately from the factory or am I looking at having to ream those as well? I know each gun is different but speaking in generalities, how well do factory stock 100's shoot lead? Is there anything I should watch for on the gun when I'm at my LGS? I appreciate any input people have.

Unless I got lucky mine is bone stock no fire lapping was done. Leading is minimal which isn't all bad. They will shoot nice groups all day long.

I owned one that now belongs to my son. It has digested many lead bullets and often can be cleaned without a brush. Great shooting gun! If the finger groove grips don't fit your wife there are other options and grip change is easy.

I'm glad to hear that it doesn't mind the lead pills. My wife held both the GP and the SP and she liked the GP much more.

I have 2 GP100's and 2 SP101's and 2 Blackhawks
From my personal experiences the 357 is "magic" with Ruger. All 36 throats are perfect and the 6 barrels are flawless.

My GP shoots lead bullets very well, with little to no leading.
