I am strongly considering adding a new, current production Blackhawk in .45 Colt. I welcome opinions and especially first hand experiences here from those handling them. Reading reviews from other sites & from buyer's have been spotty but in general don't give a percentage breakdown of the ones with issues. Some bemoan current quality control but has that been your take overall ?
Among the new ones now ( Last year or so of production ) that you have seen have they had canted sights, issues that affect action smoothness, lockup , timing, buggered ratchets or any other significant mechanical or cosmetic issue ? Do throats diameters seem to be more in line of what is desirable now than in years past ? Or do the vast majority you've seen are just fine ?
I thank you in advance.
