Very nice.My favorite Ruger holster revolver. I only have a 4 5/8 barrel 357/9mm convertible but it fits and carries in an old Lawrence Threeperson style holster like it grew in there.View attachment 31826

I'm finishing a two-tone OM single six right now. It's got a polished stainless grip frame. I'll start a thread of pics once it's done.Nice Randyzzz ! I would polish that grip frame. Two tone is pretty cool.
In California here, that collection would probably be considered "too much of a good thing".....and that always, in California, of course could or would be, again, "borderline illegal"...If you live in CA, I would be more than happy to help you out by taking at least one two off your hands.....just to help you be more "liberally compliant" to public opinion. Just remember, public opinion means a lot in California.....it means a bunch of crap ..Top to Bottom: Type 1 .357 Mag "Flattop" Blackhawk, .357 Mag Blackhawk, .41 Mag Blackhawk and .45 LC Blackhawk

Modifications:
Cut the barrel: mathematically 4 7/16" is equal to the proportion of the mid frame with a 4 5/8" barrel. But that would need a cut right thru the ERH screw. So I resorted to 4 1/8".
Also pulled the barrel and turned it ¼ turn so the rollmark is on the side to match the OM Blackhawk FT. This had two more advantages: it keeps the relocated front sight from covering the rollmark and it allowed me to clean up the course machine tool marks on the front face of the frame so typical on OM Rugers. That in turn allowed the extra ¼ turn of the barrel after cutting the barrel from the front end.
New Vaquero XR3 steel grip frame.
Flattopped the frame to match my old model mid frames.
New Model .32s: all steel grip frames.
The bottom two with barrels shortened from the rear and set back. Steel grip frames.
The bottom one with the short .32 Vaquerito size steel grip frame.
