1979 357 Blackhawk new to me😁

Picked this one up off of Gunbroker.
Came with the S&W holster.

Enjoy.

Give us a range report.

Nice one.

Those .357 Blackhawks have been a mainstay of Ruger ever since they were introduced. And the short barreled ones like that seem to be the favored ones.

I got it to go with my stainless one. I think I bought it in 2013
When did they change the base pin styles?

How much "slack" should a 45 year old Blackhawk have when the hammer is down when you try to rotate it back and forth?

I have a '78.
