I just picked up a NMBH in the box and the manual was missing. The
revolver is a 45 convertible made in 2011. I think the manual should have a Bisley & plow handle on the cover, but can someone tell me what the printing date should be? The closest date I have seen for sale has a 2009 print date. Is there one later but before 2012? I tried searching the forum but could not find a thread on this.
Thanks for any help,
Jeb
 
The one I found on the Ruger site is 2015.

Thats odd. Every BH manual I've seen (only been looking for a few days) from at least 1995 and newer has had the "two gun" cover. Is it possible that Ruger had several versions of the BH manual in use simultaneously? Man, am I confused now.
 
My manual does depict two guns on the cover, just like the one that Jimbo posted. However, neither of the guns shown have the Bisley grip frame, nor did I see any reference to it on the front cover.
 
I assumed it was the Bisley cover but the 2009 is the latest pre-2012 I have seen. It must be that one.

I just looked at some older manuals I have and they do have the Blackhawk and Bisley on the cover and in the bottom right corner there is this MRN, KMRN & BMRN/4-03 C and MRN, KMRN & BMRN/2-06 C.

I assume the dates are 4-03 and 2-06. I don't have one after 09. I am no help at all.
 
In my stuff,,, all I've found so far is 2/09, then it jumps to 2/12. if there are any in-between,,, I don't have them.

I think it must be the 2009 version. I haven't been able to find one newer than 09 and pre 2012.
Thanks everyone for expending the time and energy to help me out.
