Looks like 4.5 and 6.5" barrel offerings. I'll have to get one of these

Once again they've missed the boat by not doing these on the mid size flat top frame.
Sigh..........

 

[Hastings]

Very tempting, but I'll hold out until they come out with a convertible Vaquero in 10mm/40s&w. Even better if it's a 3.75" Birdshead model.

Still, may not be able to resist the 4-5/8" Blackhawk.

You are so right! Can't be the 10MM 37,500 pressure. They have mid size convertibles in 357/9mm +P and they're 35,000/38,500.

Must be because they're already tooled for the calibers on the large frame from the old Buckeye Blackhawks.

My thought is that since they are using the larger frame, it should be available with a 3rd cylinder in 38/40.

In the mid frame, 40S&W/10MM would be fine. 8)

Agreed. Wonder if they'll finally do a 10mm/.40 GP100...

It is actually a Ruger Stainless Blackhawk. :roll: :roll:

It is not the worst idea Ruger has produced. Next a Bisley, please.
I have always thought the 10mm makes a fine hunting option, given selected sighting and bullets. If 357Max is the prom date, the 10mm Auto is her big brother's foot.
Have no use personally, for the 40S&W IRL.

Wow. Just when I thought Ruger couldn't think of another gun I want but don't need.

A 10mm/40 single action revolver. Hmmm... Why? Yet, at the same time, it's fascinating. Buy one and you'd be the only kid on your block with a 10mm/40 revolver. Maybe even the only kid in town.

The 6.5 inch model could possibly produce some very impressive velocities with 10mm and 40.

As for the size, though, I tend to agree that the smaller flattop would be a better choice. I have the 357/38/9mm flattop. It's very nice and easily handles stout .357 loads.

 

[Heliman]

Very tempted but already have a Buckeye 10mm/38-40. Nice offering though.

Dave I agree. On the positive side, this new gun is Stainless, on the negative side, Why a 40 S&W, I'd prefer the 38/40 myself, or at least a 3rd cylinder.

 

[WAYNO]

And if a feller likes the .38/40, that was already offered. I'll be the odd man and say the .40 is what I hoped for long ago and finally quit waiting for. 10mm for serious work, and .40 for fun (and economy) at the range.

.38/40 is wonderful for old time gun enthusiasts, but for the younger crowd, (the crowd the gun companies need to please), the cartridge and combo will stagnate.

I have become a fan of combination guns that shoot high potency auto cartridges. They do a better job than their black-powder-turned-smokeless predecessors.

 

[Heliman]

I for one have never been a .40 fan. I do like the 10mm and the 38-40 appeals to me from a nostalgia standpoint. Since I already have a 10mm revolver, I think I will pass....for now....on the latest offering.

Don't forget a .38-40 cylinder too! Someone else also noted still no mid frame. My "triple threat" approach for a custom I've contemplated on a .357 NV donor would be .38-40 rechambered from a stock .357 cylinder, adding significant Pre War/blackpowder cylinder/flute chamfer, .40 made out of the otherwise kept-stock donor .357 cylinder, and a from-scratch fluteless 10mm, to distinguish among them at quick glance. I wonder if a go-fund-me account would work for this!

Bear Paw, I didn't see yours and a few others as I typed. Re .38-40, brilliant minds think alike! The .40 part for me is for range/target/plinking economy and as a stalemate to an older .40 auto I have.

Now you are talking my language. I could care less about 40 sw, but 38-40 is cool. Guess you could have one made from a 9mm or 357. Cylinder.
