I had a Charter Arms Bulldog .44 Special & while they won’t win any awards for beauty it would take the starch out of any man or beast out to 25 yards.
It doubled as a flamethrower!
It does suck one several frontsI know that you already know this, but...
When it comes to wheelguns, it's not only the "custom" guys, but also the guys at the OEMs. (*BTW, is Hamilton Bowen even still alive?)
I have a Smith revolver that's about to go back to the factory for the THIRD time. Yes, Smith & Wesson...the "Great Grandfather" of revolver manufacturers. Hell, I've even had one Colt and one Ruger that have had to go back for a "visit" to the Warranty Department.
As a diehard revolver guy, I've just had to accept that all the "cool kids" are buying/using Tactical Tupper nowadays, and that the Engineers and "Craftsmen" who built and worked on revolvers are either dead or in their 70's and 80's (*It's much the same for 1911's, of which I'm also a diehard owner/user). Every time I think of the words, "Evolve or perish", I want to vomit because it forces me to accept my own aging/decline and mortality.
Whenever I think about stuff like this, I think about Danny Devito's "buggy whips" monologue in "Other People's Money". In that flick, he talked about the issues/dangers of acquiring "an increasing share in a declining market".
As much as it pains me to type, I reckon that "Time marches on."
I almost walked out of the gunstore with one of those!
I’m about to send my 1911 slide to Novak for some dovetail cuts and tritium sights.
Novak bringing the sight picture to the absolute rear of the slide/frame & the no snag profile of the rear site was genius!
And the 3" GP100s have some extra special sauce, imo. Congrats on a sweet wheelgun.
This is a debate as old as wheelguns and obviously it just comes down to personal preference and what you intend to use it for, but for me, the 3" strikes a really nice balance for a SD carry gun, whether in town or in the woods. It balances nicely in the hand, not being as weight forward as the longer barrel lengths, conceals more easily and clears the holster more quickly, but still offers a decent barrel length & sighting plane for easier accuracy than a shorter snub. I also prefer the compact grip on the 3" like yours has. On my 4.25" GP100, I use the full-size grip.
I'm just a big fan of 3" barrel wheelguns, and own more of that barrel length than any other. And if it has a 3" barrel and an unfluted cylinder, and a 7th round, I'm all over it.

Assuming you mean velocity. If so, I would not think there would be much of a difference. I would not think you target would know the difference between 800 and 850fps.So .... with a 4" revolver shooting moon clips, and without being able to measure myself, can I count on 5" semi-auto ammo measurements ?
Just wondering. See also, for instance:
