Andy Horvath: Ruger Blackhawk 45

[wheelyfun45]

Hey All,
Just picked up this Horvath "lil' Ruger" from Karl at KGB Customs.
4" barrel, action job, rounded butt, custom front sight, true color case hardening, deep bluing, hand checkering on hammer and ejection rod head, custom cylinder base pin, nitre-blued pins....

Will do a full range report and more detailed pics, as soon as possible!

I saw that one for sale and were there not a 41 Special L’il Gun in the safe, I would have been chasing that gun as well.

Hey there,
strange that I only have "1" post as my post count.... I should have WAY more than that? Not sure if "they" reset my post count because I was inactive for a long time?
Regardless, thanks for the compliment on Mr Horvath's work!

Very neat Custom Ruger Revolver. Looking
forward to your Range Report.

Out of curiosity, what Commercial or Reloaded
Ammo will you be using?

The Best to you and your Endeavors.

I have 40 rounds of Buffalo Bore 225gr "Anti-Personnel" low flash ammo enroute:

Also have 200 rounds of Freedom Munitions inbound: 255gr Flat Point ammo

I'll likely have to invest in some very basic reloading equipment, as I will need to feed this hungry revolver and also my lust for single action revolvers has been reinvigorated of late.... so look for more additions to the single action stable in the coming months.
