Question about Ruger 454 Casull Super Blackhawk

andyo5 · Aug 30, 2015

It's as hot as I want or need to go with a regular Bisley. No grizzlies where I live. And it is not at the sore wrist level yet.
If I needed more oomph I'd probably take a rifle.
I'm glad we had this little talk. That .454 I was thinking about has just sprouted wings and flown away.

They are a specialty pistol for sure!!! That old Colt load will take care of 90% of whatever most need to take care of,,,,,,, :wink:

No need to pay a premium for a new one, in 6 months there's gonna be lots on the used market....

You mean like all the M-29s sold by moviegoing Dirty Harry fans after firing one cylinder full?

You may be right... :wink:

Hondo , do I detect a hint of sarcasm in your reply?
Do you think GunBroker will need a larger server to handle the added activity?

No, I just agree with P89DC. The .44 Dirty Harry purchases and then resells was a real phenomenon. And it's still fairly true of the big boomers. How many 44 Mag SBHs and even some 500 S&W Mags like new guns do we see for sale with 1/2 of the first box of ammo for it?

But now with Ruger's street price point for these single action boomers at the dealer level putting these heretofore mostly custom and high dollar chambered single action guns, within reach of the average buyer, I foresee a lot more than usual buyer's remorse!

I fervently hope that comes to pass Jim. I have long pined for a 5 shot Linebaugh .45 and maybe Ruger is gonna scratch that itch at a price that I can handle! 8)

As a bonus, I would expect that Ruger will pay a little more attention in regard to chamber/throat dimensions in a Blackhawk that operates at Casull pressure levels... :wink:

Heck, even the barrel length suits me perfectly...

And a .480 Blackhawk is a dream come true! 8)
