Folks, I have tried to make a decision on GP100 and at least I am now sure is a GP100 and not the SP101 I want first! But, there are options and I simply prefer the nice front sight and the wood insert grip in the 7rd GP100. Yet, a friend told me it may have issues with ammo fitting and overlapping and not as strong as the regular 6rd. But, I find the Hogue grip hideous and looks like it should be a no brainer. Did Ruger explain what they did to drill another hole and not worry?

Antonio, there has not been any reported issues with the 7 Hole Cylinder in the GP100. It and other 7 Round revolver Manufacturers have tested these pistols extensively with "Proof" Loads that are higher pressure loads than even the stout commercial magnum loads with no issue. You will be fine in this regard Sir.
