Found a nice BKH-30 laying on a table today during set up for this weekends Show at U of Phoenix Stadium. Saw the 10" bbl, flattop and price tag in that order. Bought the gun and then discovered it was a 357 and not 44 flattop. Has original grips, graying grip frame, slight turn line and light bluing wear on the loading gate, erh and left muzzle.

Very Cool gun that made my day. Yes it is an 8 groove.

Wow! Great snag... I've been looking for a factory 'mate' to 'maggie', my '66 BKH36 that's been 'tinkered' on. (My avatar) :)

Great Rare Find! In all the years of gun shows I have never seen a 357 10" 8 groove on a sales table! Always been from a collector to a collector! J/S

Nice! Looks like a couple of notches on the grips from winning the fast-draw out at Tombstone :D

Great snag Larry. I was right behind a 44 Flattop today. John (paladin) snagged it just as I walked up right behind him. Man there was sure a crowd today.

Just got off the phone with the nice lady at Ruger and the gun letters as a BKH-30 shipped in Apr '61.

Ended up getting an OM 357 Blackhawk, 30 prefix, from the same dealer. He had Colts and Winchesters and didn't have much interest in Rugers.

Great snags Chance! Wish I'd gotten up there to see it, but the weekend kinda went sideways on us.

Seven should be no problem RR. Only took 51 yrs to come up with this one. At the present rate I should be able to have the guns ready for you by my 417th birthday.

Lane Pearce used to own the consecutive to the one Chance just found. Lane's gun has probably not been away from him for more than a few years, so may be easy to find.
