Just an FYI... the 41 Magnum full sized S&W speed loader works with the GP-100

good thing these cases should be reloadable maybe 20 times??? because they are time consuming to make... finished on the lathe another 150 cases last night... just need to camfer case mouths & wet tumble the swaging lube off them... then they'll be ready to load...
That's 300 done... goal is 1000 cases so I don't have to go through the work of making any more... 1000 should be a lifetime supply, leaving plenty to sell with the gun, when that time comes...

Well I now have plenty of ammo for this gun, 3 different bullet options... I got the Speedloaders that work... but prefer the ammo speed strips for carrying... the 41 magnum strips work perfectly...

That really is a slick handgun. I kinda love everything about it.
I’m piecing together it’s little (less fancy) brother out of an SP101. Got some elk inserts from Zane coming soon.

It was my 1st handgun ever... before I married my wife, & her father "groomed me" to manage his gun collection, which I multiplied by 4 or 5 times... when I had my "big" selloff this last year, I had 8 - 357 Magnums... the one I kept was special to my FIL, so rather than sell this one, I wanted to do something special to it & keep it...
I love what Dave Clemments, Michael Gouse & Zane were able to do with it...& while the cartridge is unique it's quite practical & easy to load, once the cases were made

I have a M29-2 that was my grandfathers and, in addition to it already being a fine handgun, some of my earliest memories of him are with the Smith and Wesson. It’s got a special (permanent) spot in my safe as is currently waiting in a set of Culina grips (American Holly)
