The GP-100 in .22 is a great shooting gun. I like the weight. It makes it rock steady. But if you were looking for something to carry, I would go with the SP-101. It's bit smaller and lighter, and you get 8 shots. I have the Stainless Single Six, and this 10 shot GP-100 has it beat. An extra 4 rounds in the cylinder, plus the double action makes it a much more practical gun. The Speed Beez Speedloader is really nice. It's faster to reload than any of my 10 shot Browning Buckmark auto's because you dump 10 in at once. The loading block holds 100 rounds which is like having 10, 10 shot magazines on hand.
It's very accurate as well. It's a very tightly fitted gun. Which means you have to keep it really clean. If you get any powder residue under the ejector star it can bind up the gun. I always have a can of that "canned air" with me when I shoot it. That way if it gets any powder fouling under the star, I can just give it a blast of air to clear it, and she's good to go.
