I just picked up a new to me 3 screw Super Black Hawk
I think I got a pretty good deal. This is my first single action revolver. Based on the serial number, I believe that is was made in 1963.
I will try to post a pic:
I do have a couple questions:
First, is it safe to dry fire this gun? I do not want to damage anything.
Second, I saw on Ruger's website that the gun can be sent to Ruger for a safety upgrade. Is this to add a transfer bar so I can carry 6 rounds instead of 5 with an empty chamber? If not what is the upgrade and is it worth doing? Will it decrease the value of the gun? I bought the gun to use for hunting and shooting, it is not going to be a safe queen.
