The factory grips on the Ruger GP-100 are a much nicer looking grip but i had to change it because i would bleed from shooting .357 rounds through it. If you look at a pic of a factory grip on the GP-100, you'll notice it doesn't completely cover the backstrap. Shoot a box of .357 and it'll take the skin off of the top knuckle of your thumb near the web of your hand.
As far as the guy who wants the Sig 226, it's a nice gun but rather large for my tastes. The 228 is the same but more compact. No matter what, definately shoot a gun before you buy one and also shoot other brands (glock, smith, ruger...etc). Had a guy at the range shooting his new Beretta and asked to shoot my Sig since he never did. I felt bad for him as he commented on how much better it felt than his new Berreta.
Oh and Zone, that was a funny chop of Pyro.
Pyro, i can tell you don't know much about firearms.....your finger is on the trigger. A big no no.

iI have shot several thousand rounds through my gp-100 and have not have that problem. You must have abnormal sized hands or an unorthidox shooting grip. Whatever works for you though. The gp-100 is a fun gun to shoot, especially at range of around 100 yards.
