If you could only have 1 Ruger Single Action?

[firecaptain]

Blackhawk Hunter in .41 mag.

 

[Mag-force]

I have several singles that i enjoy. But my 44 7 1/2 SBH that was my first has to be my first choice.

 

[hesco]

5 inch stainless 357 bisley

 

[Slenk]

What would it be?

I'd likely choose the SS Blackhawk 5.5" 44 Mag with a good set of non-ruger grips.

that would be my pick also.

Already have the one I wanted. .41Mag NMBH. And besides, my wife said I could only have one. :wink:

 

[George]

Holo07 ,Love it! Got one just like it! Yes nice gun. That bad boy been shot yet? Nick named mine Boooomer!

 

[Bear Paw Jack]

I assumed it was based on what we have already. If you need something different let me know I'll loan you one.

 

[Ugly Hombre]

Ruger Talo birdhead's New Vaquero- in 45 ACP. Blue- needs to go back to the factory for fixing. Came in with some issues.-

But still- I like it to darn much.

 

[Goldstar225]

4 5/8" .45 colt flat top. Does everything I need in a field gun.

 

[Robb Barnes]

This one I guess.

 

[Bear Paw Jack]

This one I guess.

Got to have details on this one.

Here is the background on that one BPJ. Started life as an old model 357 Type 1 flat top. It was sent to Hamilton Bowen once Ron Powers started making #5 grip frames. This is the first gun made with one of Ron's old model #5 frames. I wanted it to me a tribute to Elmer Keith's #5 only with my own twist. Thus the octagon barrel and the dual cylinders in 41 Mag and 41 Special. The ivory grips are by Paul Persinger and the carving is taken from a photograph of one of my Scottish Highlander cattle. Hamilton finally agreed to do the #5 base pin latch after I kept whining about it and he did the main gun in rust blue with nitre blue on the latch and screws. This gun and the first Ruger #5 new model Hamilton did both went to John Taffin before either of us owners saw the guns and he wrote them up in American Handgunner a couple of years ago.

That came out nice. I noticed the Elmer influence on it. I like those grips. I can see how that would be a favorite. Beautiful piece.

 

[newrugersafan]

Probably the 71/2" flattop middle gun on left

 

[Put]

Because it is Ruger Single action and only one, it would have to be a Blackhawk 357 convertible. But there would have to be a couple of USFA SAA in 45 colt and 44-40 plus a Freedom Arms in
454 and 22 lr.

I don't play right.

Ruger Vaquero 45 ACP with birdshead grip.

I really like that one and currently have an OM 41 #5 being built. My NM #5 FT 44 special (that I said would be my "one" sticking to the topic) was the first #5 gun built with one of Ron's grip frames. It would be the gun I would keep if only one was allowed for two reasons. One because it is a fantastic firearm and two because Ron Power built it for me.
