Would a Blackhawk 10mm/40cal sell? I really enjoy my .45acp cylinder in my Lypsey's flattop.

Have you tried shooting SAs with two hands and cocking the hammer with the off hand thumb?

It is not the cocking, it is the rolling recoil. I have tried lots of grip holds to no avail.

We will beat you next time? :shock: :mrgreen: (sarcasm off). Welcome to the forum. In reality, posts years old get dragged out, the dust brushed off and rehashed in light of new developments. Good luck on finding your cats meow. We all have them. I accidently fell into a New Model BH, that was a shooter. Planned to just sell it, but then. 9 mm cylinder was bought, new grips, a holster. Yeah, I think I will keep it now. 8)GarrettJ said:Sorry about bringing up an old thread, but I've always liked the idea of a .40/10mm revolver. S&W offered them for a while, and where they apparently weren't the best sellers, they do seem to be somewhat in demand.
Likewise, I've always wanted one of the .38-40/10mm Buckeye Blackhawks. I just havent wanted one enough to pay the $1000+ price tag I usually see them listed for. I'm not all that excited about the .38-40 (but I'd still get a set of dies and work up some loads) but I've always been a suckered for a nice 10mm.
But then a cylinder chambered in .40 would be great for just fun shooting. For those who don't reload, it seems .40 ammo is always available, even during the last couple of ammo shortages. And for the reloaders, it seems there is always brass to be scrounge any time you go to the range. I've got a 5-gallon bucket of brass and started on another.
