This particular model, manufactured in 1990, has seen extensive use as a service weapon with the NYPD and also bearing the "GPNY" mark on the left side of its frame as another service department in NY state. Despite showing signs of heavy use, including blemishing, dings, and scratching, this firearm remains in fair overall condition.
The GP100 has a good bore condition, clean and well-maintained with minor wear marks, and good rifling with well-defined lands and grooves.
