New .357 SS Blackhawk

[sfhogman]

Just picked 'er up today, brand new in the box. It'll be a while before I get to shoot it - arthroscopic surgery on knee Tuesday- but I have been giving it the fondling test, and thus far things look good. It's very well finished, locks up good and tight, has almost no endplay, and the B/C gap looks to be .004" or under. The casting work in unfinished areas (like hammer face) is very clean and the trigger is crisp for a transfer bar gun. The grips are a cocobolo colored laminate, and are okay, with a few tiny drip marks. No matter, it'll be getting a set of Cary's holly grips soon enough.

All in all, I'm impressed. I hope the rest of Ruger's new products are as well made as this one seems to be.

The proof is in the shooting, but so far so good.

Triggernosis, I got it from my local FFL. I had him order it.

Slim, my camera is over at a friend's place right now, but looks exactly like the KBN-34 on the Ruger page-

I'm sure looking forward to shooting it.

Nice. I just got mine 2 weeks ago, looks just like that, too. Love it. And soooooo nice to shoot, too.

MSRP: $681.00

They need to get real.
I like 'em but not that much for a new model.
I know you can get them cheaper. - that's why I said 'get real'.
