Jeff Quinn 44 special Ruger Gp100.

Elk creek

Looks like Lipsey’s and Ruger teamed up to offer a Jeff Quinn tribute gun. It’s a high polish 4” 44 special. The grips have his image and signature.....
I personally don’t typically care for tribute guns, or commemoratives. This one though is a great setup a blue 4” 44special? Are you kidding? I’d buy one even it wasn’t a tribute, probably more so even. The down side is only 500 are made so they are going to be stupid scarce even more since industry folks will snap a bunch up, the family probably will get a bunch... any way. 

I just had to......just had to. Pick mine up tomorrow if they have logged it in.. First thing is put the grips aside and put the Hogues that came on the 3” on it then shoot the crap out of it.

That is really nice, like the 4 inch barrel and 44 special cartridge.
If I wasn't saving money to buy a new car would look really hard at that one.

I had to get on it. I have 2 offered me, now the Gun broker jackals are doubling the price and selling them.

Somewhere in my archives. There's an illustrated treatise of a similar gun made up for Whiley Clapp. IIRC 1980ish time frame. Not a Lipsey's though. And not a high polish blue. 

Nice gun. I think of that model is ultrautilitarian, but the finish in the pic looks very nice. Especially with the unfluted cylinder.

Agreed on utilitarian, just the way it’s meant to be.

Great grab.  Think I would even put that one on a CC if i was low on rat money.

Looking forward to seeing it with the alternate grips, might change my impression. Second one still available?

Nice!  Looks like the "commemorative" is confined to the grips - BYE!

No. I ordered mine and while waiting I got an Notification from Bobby Tyler of Tyler gun works that he had some available.....by the time we finished our texts back and forth they sold out.

Indeed! It had a special SN range JQ-000 to JQ-500

I've heard about those guns. I'm glad it's on the GP 100 frame.  Be sure to post photos of it when you get around to it.

Apparently the weather is slowing shipping from the south. Who knew a few snow flakes screwed this much up

Probably just as well. I can go back to lusting after the 10mm now.

Now with photos!! I had to add a photo of its 3” little brother..... love me some 44 special.....

Prettiest GP100 I've ever seen!

Those sights are nice!

I liked JQ's videos. Not a real photogenic fellow though. Don't blame you for wanting to switch the grips.

I’m really thinking the same grips that are on the 3”....

Someone handy. Might could maybe put a Ruger emblem in a set a those, and set a new trend

If you get tired of it let me know
Good looking pistol.  How do the grips feel in the hand?

Pretty good. Those compact grips just fit my hand very well! 

Diver43

I had a feeling they would
They aren't the prettiest though
Maybe they have them without the artwork?

I looked, the grips are textured and 90 bones......
