I was able to pick up one of these for an even $1000. It has quickly become a great favorite; a bit trimmer in the fore end than the older models. Fit and finish is excellent. Ruger has done a fine job on these. Wish they had deleted the crossbolt safety, but I took care of that myself.

Gnappi, it wasn’t my intent to imply I’ve had “issues” with past Ruger Blackhawks. Like you, I have always regarded them as affordable, workmanlike handguns that give good service. I am simply impressed that this latest one exhibits a marked improvement over previous examples. Of course, the...

Offering this Case knife for sale. Never used and still in its factory wrappings. Price is $130 shipped.

I just shot it using a spare box of HSM 240-grain Cowboy loads. It will be interesting to work up a good hand load for it. The .44 Special is generally quite agreeable with a wide range of loads.

I wasn’t sure whether I’d keep this little.44; but a short range session has settled the matter. She’s staying around. Might have to tweak the rear sight a bit.
