If you want a really weird option I have a set of Traush grips for a speed six somewhere. Most comfortable grip ever made for me anyway and the rubber is more plasticky. They are like brand new from when he was trying to break into the US market. His death kinda ended all that.

Smith doesn't make anything comparable to Rugers best revolver the Super Blackhawk! Contest over.

I just went and looked at all 3 new models and one old model in my safe. They would all need to rise after that same downward angle. I'm good with the standard frame, so that might make me hold off paying too much for a Ronnie Wells Bisley. If I buy one of his I'll stick with a lower grip just...

Did YOU buy it? Heck yes that was a good buy. I didn't even remember there was a stainless low back. Couldn't have been too many of them?

As a serious woodworker I can tell you rosewood is many different woods called rosewood. But to answer your question - maybe? I don't think any normal models were made with anything other than walnut or whatever the newer models is. Cherry or redwood would have to have been added on distributor...

Occasionally Crown Royale sells little bottles in liquor stores in the airline size in little purple bags. 3-4 bucks for the liquor and you have a perfect size cylinder bag left over.

Also the Thermold plastic mags work pretty well or buy some factory mags.

Not so. Ruger made the rifle from the beginning to use either round.

Similar to Winchester white box. Price and Quality are similar.

I found mine several years ago in a local ND gun shop. $275. When I asked why price was lower than one next to it the dealer said because that ones just a .22! I ran to the car and ordered my wife to turn over the checkbook. I explained later when it was in my possession. Same guy threw a bill...

I only know of two owned by members on this forum, one is mine. They are exceedingly rare in the wild. I have searched gun shows from Washington State to Minnesota diligently for years and not seen another. I'm wondering if you know how many were made?

Just like the pawn shop expect 1/2 or less. If the boxes present like new he would have sold what he paid 20 for, fot about 50 to maybe 60 best case scenario. Not ripping you off, he's got a retirement account, heat and water bill, employee etc. You can do much better finding a buyer yourself...

I don't have the box so I can't prove it, but my stainless tapered 4" mkII with fixed sight I don't believe was called a Standard. The thing is you can call a Ruger vaquero large frame an " old" model Vaquero all you like because Ruger even put " new model" on most of the newer ones. Collectors...

Nope. Also one of Rugers best designs. The P90 and P95s have almost a cult following.

Swapping in a super Redhawks cylinder on a regular Redhawk is tried and proven. Never heard of a failure. There's a lot of them out there. I was set to do it until I realized my heavy 300 gr. handloads were pretty close anyway. The 4" Redhawk with Super 454 cylinder is perfect.
