Ruger question
My old man has just recently given me a 15+ year old NewModel Blackhawk single-action revolver in 357 magnum. I am just looking for a little bit of over view on this revolver. It is perfect shape aside from needing a little bit of cleaning.

Excellent! I have one myself in .357, blued w/ the 7.5" tube. Solid, solid piece. No frills, all business.
There is the safety issue, although you may be aware of it. You can't carry the old Blackhawks with a full cylinder. Just load it "Old West" style: Load 1, skip 1, load 5, close the gate. Make sure the hammer is down on an empty chamber. Quote:
If you handload, you can really roll some rockets in .357 with the heavy SA frame. The versatility of single action revolvers is limitless. Unless you plan on doing SASS or something, you might want to invest in a nice rubber grip by Hogue or the like. They're ugly as hell, but they've made a huge difference for me both on the range and in the woods. :) |
Good looking out, thank you. Where were you are overseas??

if its Really a New model, then it has the transfer bar safety and can be carried with 6- Mine is an oldie, in 30 cal.- damn things are tanks, and if maintained have a near miraculous reliability- BTW ruger will upgrade your gun for free, and send you the old parts for its collectors values sake if it is not a new model.......

Take some pictures of your piece for the related thread. Also: They make a 9x19mm cylinder for the Blackhawk. Kinda useless for most but might come in handy in some crazy zombie infestation. |
can one get the 9mm cylinder on its own- I would so buy a cheapie used .357 if i could just drop in the cylinder for 9mm
