Just Picked Up This New Model Blackhawk SS .357

[lvtwentytwo]

Offered $400 and he accepted. Yes it's old (1990) but it's in really nice shape, box, papers and all.

I think I did okay price wise.

It is OLD?!@?! How can that be as 1990 was all of three months ago and my fifty year old gunbelts and shucks are still fine.
SO.......just what is " old " ?
And so it goes...

 

[lvtwentytwo]

Okay, 28 years "new" and still a nice find I think. At least for $400 I hope.

 

[WIL TERRY]

You bet it is !!!

And so it goes...

 

[WendyZXZ]

I think you did very well with that Ruger!

 

[57springer]

You did ok !

I bought a stainless .357 Blackhawk just like that one about a year ago, they are fine shooting revolvers. I've gotten pretty good with mine, I can hit small targets like a soda can out to 40 yards. Easy packing in a holster, feels like no weight on the belt.

Here's a pick of mine with it's companion rifle, a Ruger 77/.357, and a "Threepersons" style holster....

You will really enjoy shooting that revolver!

That's a dandy. Nice catch!

 

[LAH]

Good buy.

 

[Bear Paw Jack]

I'd certainly have bought it for that price. I'd say you did good.

 

[lvtwentytwo]

Thanks everyone!

I brought it home a couple hours ago, and......it looks better than it did in the pic!

Question though. Is there a way to polish out the very, very faint turn line? Maybe a mag wheel polish and a green scotch pad? Other than the turn line the gun looks pristine for its age!

 

[Armybrat]

Most Rugers have that turn line. I wouldn't worry about it.

Very nice gun and a good deal. I woulda grabbed it too.

 

[Ale-8(1)]

New Models get the turn line. It's a feature, not a bug.

Good score.

:wink:

 

[lvtwentytwo]

Well, I ended up using a little Blue Magic metal polish and an old green scotch brand kitchen sponge my wife said I could have and it nearly removed all the turn line. Sweet! I think I'll try a soft rag and some more metal polish on the rest of the gun today and see what happens. Pics to come.

 

[leejack]

Looks sweet to me!

 

[Bear Paw Jack]

I just bought one of those in a Bi-Centenial model. Excited for it to get here.

 

[Highhawk1948]

Very nice. I paid the same thing 5 years ago.

Great looking Blackhawk and great buy!

 

[lvtwentytwo]

Okay, it's polished but I don't know how to insert/attach a picture of it into this message. Can anyone tell me how?
