    Counting down the days. I can take delivery on July 3rd!

    I think I'm going to replace the grips with the older style that take inserts. Anyone else done this?
    I already have them so mine must be the oldre model/style. I really like this revolver, especially with real hot 38 sp +P loads

      I just used white out.

        You're in So Cal. Where did you have the trigger job done?

          Bolsa Gunsmithing, in Huntington Beach. Great service, great work. They did my GP100, my Mark III, and custom fit my Remington 870.

            I think its going to make me very happy.........Good find!
            If you get tired of the ribber grip on the Tracker, try ordering a Hogue. I have a Tracker 627 and I believe model 73000 is the proper grip for the 627. I have large hands (not extra large) and switched grips on my Tracker. The ribber grip fills my hand more, but I felt like I had less control. The Hogue grip is narrower but gives me better control.

            The Hogue grip on my wife's GP100 felt like it had a hunchback issue. It just wasn't comfortable at all for either of us. The original grip is the perfect fit.

              Great, thanks! I have used them for repairs and bought guns from them, so I will try them out for this project.

                Great, I've been looking for a reputable gun smith in the area. I might seek them out for this too.

                    I found a barely-used GP100 in 4" SS about a year and a half ago for a great price. Love it - it's my regular hiking/camping sidearm. AND, it has the old style grips!

                      I'm sorry, it was a couple years ago and so I have no recollection... I got a couple guns done at the same time so I don't know what it was broken down to per gun.
