Hey all,
One of my Bucket List guns is a Ruger Blackhawk customized by Andy Horvath in Ohio into one of his Lil' Ruger pistols. I would likely want a 45 caliber so I could get a 45acp cylinder for it.
When it is completed I would want it to have the 4 inch barrel with that reduced grip he does as well as an action job. I would want to start with a 4 5/8 inch Blackhawk because I would likely have to do it in stages instead of all at once. I could have the grip work done along with an action job and then wait till my "play funds" were built back up and then have the last 5/8" cut off and crowned or maybe even go a little shorter than that.
I think it would be a perfect pistol to put on my belt while I bowhunt hogs here in Texas. It is also legal to take the hogs with any legal means.....which includes a handgun. That is also something I have wanted to do for a very long time, hunt with a handgun.
I'd like to know what kind of prices are out there on USED Blackhawks that I could pick up and get this project rolling with. I can't buy it right this second, I am looking at my Birthday in July. What a nice present for myself, I think.
What prices have you all been seeing on these revolvers lately?
Has anyone else had your Blackhawk turned into one of the Lil' Rugers from Horvath? I'd really like hearing about them and what you think after handling and shooting it.
Reeder also has a similar package that can give nearly the same results. Anyone went this route for their Blackhawk custom?
Any info you can give and help me with would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
