This is the way it is.......

This is the way it is, in my mind, at least. And I'm old and ornery, but............

The revolver is either a Bisley, a Blackhawk, or a Super Blackhawk. I don't care what the folks who produce that gun care to call it, or stamp on the side of the frame. And each has its own distinctive grip frame and hammer configuration.

At one time, the Super Blackhawk was the flagship of Single Action Rugers, but now its been brought down to plebian status so it no longer bears its preeminence among the Single Action family.

Argh! The shame!

Just when I think I've figured them out, they change. I bought a 44spl bisley flattop adjustable sights when they 1st came out. I don't care what they call it, bishawk, bisley, flattop, etc. I just like shooting it..lol

A friend of mine bought a stainless super blackhawk 44mag. I asked how he liked the square trigger guard. He said huh? It's round just like my blackhawk. I said YIB...the earth is flat...lol

For me a revolver is either a square butt or round butt ….. Security Six or Speed Six.

Double actions just (for me) way more convenient yet just as tough and accurate as a single action.

But I wasn’t old enough to buy my own until the late 70’s either. I shot a lot of step-dads single action Rugers and found I shoot double actions 100 times better.

I've been a handgunner nigh unto seventy years, and in that time I've shot, owned, and traded many handguns, double action, Single Action, single shot, autoloader, cap-and-ball. And loaded and fired over a quarter million rounds of centerfire ammunition (Never kept count of rimfire). And all were fine guns, most accurate and of plenty of power to get the job done. But the western style Single Action, as the Colt and Ruger vein, was the one I always preferred, for hunting, serious daily carry, or just shootin' for pleasure. And, in my opinion, nothing beats the looks of a blued/case colored Single Action revolver.





Them's my druthers.

Well if he has the 51/2" barrel model it does have a round trigger guard and a fluted cylinder. I had one at on time

These are nice "matched sets," Bob. Don't think I've ever seen anything quite like them.

Yes. His is just like that. The hammer is a little easier to reach I think.
