44 flat top

[hdxr750]

Well Rugerguy I just have to find out if you went and picked up that Flattop?

The 6-1/2" ones were the predominant issue, nearly 28,000 of them.

There were 750 of the 7-1/2" guns, and 1500 of the 10" variety.

Info from Dougan's book Ruger Pistols and Revolvers, the Vintage Years 1949-1973.

:mrgreen:

Glad you quoted that...because I guarantee there are quite a few more 7-1/2" out there than just 750. Don't know where the 750 figure ever came from but it has been repeated for probably at least 30 years now.
The 1,500 figure on the 10" is probably about right.
For those who aren't questioning the 750 figure for the 7-1/2", ask yourself if you've really seen twice as many 10" guns. :roll:

Dan...send me a PM on the serial numbers of each of those. We also have an A and Q that we kept. The Q is British Proofed.
