Range session today.........

[Bob Wright]

I dug 'way back into my storage and came up with this old .45 Blackhawk. Hadn't had it out in a few years, so wanted to give it a workout. I bought this in 1987. I had to get my dealer to order it, and before I ever saw it had it returned to Ruger for fitting the Super Blackhawk grip frame and a .45 ACP cylinder. In 1989 I had the action slicked up, added a Millett rear sight, and color case hardened by Doug Turnbull. Grips are gaboon ebony by Lett.



As of this morning's workwork, the mileage stands at 19,461 rounds fired. And I still use those stick-on pasters for targets for this gun.

Very nice Bob! Still looks very good after all those rounds down range!

 

[David LaPell]

That is one sharp piece of shooting iron!

 

[Hammerdown77]

That's a great looking 45!

I'm surprised Ruger would fit a SBH grip frame to that gun for you, since there isn't a production variation that has it. Will they still do that ya reckon?

 

[Stoots]

Beautiful gun Bob!

 

[The Blackhawk Kid]

WOW! What a great looking gun, Bob. All I have in my storage locker is beans and "sodie crackers". Good shooting!
