Was waffling about what to buy at the Reno Gun Show (Colt Junior, P14 rifle, Remington 51 ... or nothing) and happened across a table with a few Ruger Blackhawks displayed, including a few Flat Tops and three screws. All in excellent shape, a few in boxes. Settled on this one -
This is my 1st Flat Top and according to the serial number look up, we're the same age - 1958.
I wasn't aware Ruger originally used a small serrated ejector rod head. Other than not scratching the barrel it doesn't seem best, but of course will stay as is. The Micro sights are head and shoulders above anything current. As are the grips.
Gun hasn't been used much if at all. The hand abuts the cylinder ratchet at full cock just a tad before the sear engages the sear notch
Never been much of Ruger enthusiast beyond accumulating what I like, and have a liking for older stuff. But damn - this thing is terrific.
