I was wondering something similar before. I know Freedom arms are good but can they be THAT much better than a good Ruger? Yeah...they are. I would have never believed it until I held one at a gunshop. Looked almost the same, but just totally couldn't compare to my Ruger. And I love my Rugers...

As far as I know they're the same, except maybe the barrel, which I'm still wondering about. I know there are several people who have put 9mm cylinders in regular Blackhawks.

The difference between single and double action on a .22 is HUGE. Ruger doesn't even sell a DA .22, which is down right stupid. They make multiple autos, rifles, and SAs in .22 to choose from. :roll: Even if it had bad sights I'd LOVE to have an 8-9 shot SP22. I'd even pay Smith prices for it.

You're never going to get a reply from the CEO of Ruger. I believe they specify that right next to where you can email "him". (though I doubt the actual CEO ever reviews them) It is however great for people to CONTINUOUSLY remind Ruger of how many calibers they're missing out on and how easy it...

I think everybody has as long as Ruger has been in business. I don't know why they remain so stubborn on this issue... :roll:

While we're talking about it, can anybody confirm or deny if the .357 "Convertible" Blackhawk barrel is the same as any other standard .357 Blackhawk?

I have to disagree with that. With recent ammo supplies being the way they are (not so bad in the last month or two) I have been buying a box or two of .38/.357 anywhere I can. I don't care what brand or bullet it is as long as it goes boom. Most of the cheaper stuff I have been ending up with...

Bottom of the page...where? Ruger does make an "official" export 9mm GP don't they? Maybe I could find a cylinder from one of those...(not from Ruger, of course :roll: ) Well, like I said I'm not really a fan of the 9mm. I could buy a cheap plastic one that holds 17 rounds, but, then where...

That's what I was thinking, modified stock cylinder. I think they do that for custom blackhawk conversions? I know the barrel diameter is a slight issue, but I was thinking about the Blackhawk convertible...does anybody know whether it does have a special size barrel or just the standard .357? I...

Been thinking about buying a .357 Blackhawk convertible, but I want one in stainless...those are hard to find/custom. I'm wondering if the same sort of thing might be possible for the GP100? Having an extra cylinder converted by a gunsmith for 9mm, and fit to the gun. GP100s are so easy to take...

Actually the first one they ever made was a single action. :wink:

I KNOW Ruger employees keep an eye on this forum, they threw a fit IMMEDIATELY after the LCR pictures got leaked early. I'm not trying to be nice to them or get a specific question answered, I'm rolling my eyes in their general direction. They just need to read this thread and see how many...

On a more serious note how many guns does Ruger make a distributor like Davidsons or Lipseys order for a "special run"? Wonder if they could come up with a .22 SP101 kind of like the .44 special........ :?:

EXACTLY! They've still probably got all the old equipment to make them in the shed out back...it's not like the wore it out during production. :roll: Though, part of it's demise might be that it's only a 6 shot which is still kind of lame for a .22. (that's like a 5 shot .32)

Seriously, I know Ruger employees read this forum. What is the most popular cartridge ever made? The .22 rimfire. Why, oh why, does Ruger not offer a nice little .22 DOUBLE ACTION revolver, when they offer two different types of SA rimfires, and several auto/rifles. All of their competitors...
