I'm new to this forum and have not contributed much with comments, but have been reading a lot and learning a lot from you guys. Now I need some help. I'm pretty new to guns and I think I want a Ruger gp100. I found one at a gun dealer today. It's a brand new 357 GP100 with 3" barrel in Stainless steel. I can buy it for $629.00 plus tax. I would be using it mostly at the shooting range, but would also like this to be my primary home defense gun. Help me out, talk me into it or talk me out of it. Thanks
