I was cleaning my Blackhawk flattop the other day, and I noticed that the bluing is worn completely off in a few spots. I have fired this gun a lot, but I've only had it about a year, maybe less. I take good care of my guns, and this one shows more wear than all my others put together.
I've read a fair amount about the "thin" bluing on newer Ruger revolvers, and I think if I'd have known about it before buying the BLackhawk I'd have strongly considered buying it in stainless.
I really like my Blackhawk, and plan to keep shooting it a lot. I'm starting to consider, though, that I may want to get it refinished.
