I went to the Tulsa gun show today, not really looking for anything in particular and found a Blackhawk with stag grips in 41 mag for a very good price. Now I don't have a 41 mag and don't have the reloading dies, brass ext for the 41 mag and have never really wanted a 41 mag, but them grips sure would look good on my old mod 357 Blackhawk so it came home with me and now I have brass, dies and a mold on the way lol. but them grips sure are pretty on the old three screw.

I would have bought it for just being an old model. I only have one old model Blackhawk and would love another one or two in any caliber.
The grips are a real plus and being a 41 Mag is no drawback either.
 
I just got the almost same gun, minus the great looking grips. Congrats on the nice find. According to the Ruger S/N lookup my BH was shipped in 2024. There are 100 of the HSM Bear Loads (2 boxes), 100 of the Hornady Custom (5 boxes), 20 Leverevolution (1 box), 80 of the Barnes XPB bullets (4 boxes), 150 Starline brass in the bags and 50 rounds loaded minus the 6 he shot checking it out. Those 6 are the only rounds fired after leaving the factory. Not pictured is a jug with about 3 pounds of TiteGroup powder he included and 6 A-Zoom snap caps in the cylinder. I got all this for $560.

that's a heck of a deal congrats.

I would have done the same thing -- just to get those grips. I once sold a rifle to a guy who bought it just to get the stock! It was a discontinued Pacific Research stock that handled recoil better than a muzzle brake! After he bought the rifle, he told me he didn't want the rifle, he only wanted the stock because he recognized it!
 
I'm on a different path. I'm buying a gun just to wear the grips. I have 3 sets and currently 2 guns. The top set is going on my Super Wrangler. The middle set on my .41M BH. And the bottom set on the as yet not obtained .357 BH.

I have bought grips, I have bought guns but never bought a gun for the grips, that's a new one on me. Congrats on both!

Now go and gear up for the .41 because big holes make more than big smiles.
