If you're happy with the accuracy now, I'd have it cut and re-crowned.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
The speed loaders and loading block are must-haves.
Just don't try to go too low on the trigger-pull weight, (mine is DAO at 7-1/4#). As long as it's smooth, it'll be fine. It has to have a strong strike for rimfire, especially for the cheap bulk stuff.
I try to shoot mine at the end of each range session. It helps me to remember to keep the trigger moving.

Warren, put me on your list. Thanks.

Most of them cost more to repair than what they're worth. Parts are also an issue.
A local gunsmith would be the best choice, rather than shipping it somewhere. UPS and FedEx rates are killers now.

I've been underwhelmed by every Korth I've ever handled. They're ok. But not better than my tuned S&W's. Just my opinion.
Some years ago, someone produced a S&W trigger/hammer replacement with ball bearing bushings. I can't recall who it was, though.
-
Depending on who answers the phone at S&W, they may or may not sell you one,(that's IF they have one in stock). The last time I called looking for a Model 41 barrel, the CS rep told me to call Brownells or Midway as S&W sells most of their parts through them.
Have your serial# and if possible, the SKU# at hand when you call.
S&W is but a shadow of it's former self. A pity.

Mark at Pinnacle.

Ditto on the Mcarbo extractor for the Ruger.
Look at a factory extractor vs the Mcarbo. The difference (for the good) will be obvious.

+1 on the extractor. I also have the Mcarbo buffer, recoil spring retainer, bolt head and extractor pins. It all works perfectly.
I haven't touched the trigger yet, it's a little heavy, but not bad. The Volquartsen replacement trigger module is interesting, but a bit spendy at $273.00

I don't live in the States so don't know the actual prices, but just checked MSRP for this Super GP100 and a S&W 929...
The Ruger is $ 1549.- and the Smith is $ 1209.-
I would only buy such an ugly gun if it was way cheaper than the S&W... (and even the S&W 929 is ugly, to be honest...)
But then again, that's my useless non-important opinion.
But it would be interesting to hear how it compares to the 929.
You may have an easier time getting one than we will in the USA.

Doug Koenig, factory Ruger shooter, uses one.
I'd like to try his and compare it to mine.

Pinnacle. Mark's a great guy who does fabulous work.
-
I have both. No problems with either.
In the service-type pistols, it's more an ergonomic issue than anything. Glocks and Sigs just don't fit me properly.

Yeah, they don't have one. It was sort of a rhetorical question. They probably use a sporter chamber as well instead of a Bentz.
I personally avoid anything Ruger that I want to use for precision. I have been burned too many times with inaccurate Rugers.
My choice would be a Bergera B14 22, or the CZ mentioned above.
You and I are on the same page with Ruger's definition of "precision". I have a Bergara on order,(steel barrel). Tikka would also be an option.
-
None that I can find: https://ruger.com/products/precisionRimfire/models.html
I'd see if I could get to a match and see what's being used and ask around a bit.
It's always more expensive to buy twice.

You might try F.I.S.T Holsters. Great products and people, too.
-
Their "tests" are anecdotal. Fun to read, that's about it.

I'd like to test some of those targets for gunshot residue
Agreed.

I can't say enough good things about him. Keeping the journal is vital and keeps you focused.

Take a season off. Try a different shooting sport.
Air pistol and/or Air rifle could suffice.
You'll know when you're ready to go back.

I went with an Aimpoint PRO. It was in my safe, so I use it.

PP........put it where YOU think is the best spot......then second guess yourself, analyze it, over analyze it some more, switch it up a few times.....you'll probably end up right back where you started.
See above^^^

You may also try a .125 wide front and a .140-.155 wide rear notch.
The wider front is easier to see and the wide notch in the rear will give you enough light.

Last year my front sight went all fuzzy (am now 44). Set up my inserts for distance with my left eye and front sight with my right - took gun along to ophthalmologist and we fannied about until it was nice and crisp.
The difference between the eyes isn't that huge, so I never felt dizzy. It's only noticeable when I shut my left eye - then longer distances are a bit out of whack, but my brain seems to cope.
I also recently tried it out with contact lenses - works even better without the extra layer of sighted lenses.
I use Pilla shooting glasses - very pricey, but very clear lenses.
In due course, I'll have to shift to a red dot...time waits for no man...
+1 on the Pilla. Superb quality and will last forever.

I agree with Rich, I always thought a 10mm Springfield TRP would be a great pistol.
Just fit a .40S&W barrel to it and have 2 calibers.

If it was adjustable, I'd buy at least one. Then 6 or 7 if it worked out.
