327 Federal Blackhawk

[R77PA]

Have an opportunity to buy a used one. How rare are these? First one I saw and from a quick cataloge review I noticed they were only available on year 2011.

They are still on the Ruger site. I think they are just hard to get right now. There was typically only one or two on GB when I was looking for and found mine.

I would grab it if you like the large frame and 8 shots. A lot of us wished it was made on the mid frame in 6 shots and hoping Ruger will make one. If they do, I think it will be more popular and if so, it may replace the large frame.

I have one & truly enjoy it. I'm currently awaiting a few custom bullet molds to cast some slugs that will really make this gun shine!

That would be awesome!

The SP101 is still out there and that is smaller, but double action. I see those regularly for $475. I have only seen two Blackhawks and they were both $529 or so. Haven't seen a BH for a while though.

I personally like the frame size with the 8 shots. The weight isn't too much. It does even out the recoil, as mild as it is anyhow. And they are nice looking guns as well.

There is one blackhawk and 2 GP 100's in 327 on GB right now.

I have one in the GP 100 and will get a Blackhawk next love the round

I wanted to buy one and have a Bowen conversion to a 3 1/2" barrel with Birdshead grip frame. However, as the esteemed Mr Bowen educated me about, the availability of the grip frame pieces to do it right was going to make it too time consuming and very expensive. On top of whatever I spent on the project gun, the work from Mr Bowen would be well over $2000 in addition.

I have not given up on the project yet, but it may only have a trimmed barrel length and some sort of alteration to the stock grip frame.

I was unable to purchase one for under $600 with FFL transfer fee if I was to orderone on line

 

[ThundarStick]

I bought mine at a local gun shop about a year ago and paid over $600 then! I love the 327 round and have five guns for that shoot it. The blackhawk is is a real joy to shoot, although I must admit that I shoot the GP100 more than all the others combined, the weight of the BH makes it a real fluffy kittens cat. My wish list for Ruger is the 4 inch SP101 in 327 six shooter, and a new SSM type single six! I can dream!

 

[sp327]

I have to agree with ThunderStick on the 4 inch adjustable sight SP101. I would have to buy one. That would be the gun they should have come out with a long time ago
