CDNN wants $900 for the stainless BH .357 with 4.62" barrel:

A store local to me has one of those too and for the same price.
Must not be much of a NM single action market here cause I think they've had it since the winter months.

At least retailers are getting new stock in after almost 3 years of drought …

Just got called that I cleared the background check. Pick it up tomorrow and install Wolf Bros. springs, a new cylinder pin and stag grips!

Here it is!

Keith #5 base pin, Wolff springs going in tomorrow or Monday. El Paso Saddlery rig, shown with Randall #8.

Ordered some Underwood 135 defense loads with LeHigh bullets. Still have my OM Blackhawk for the REALLY nasty beasties here in the PNW!

Sweet rig!

Like Gold, Silver, good investment. Match bullets, powder, primers, same thing, good investments, never loose your money on them, and it's been that way for 70 years I know of!

Ya gas at 19 cents when wages were 3 dollars an hour, personally better off today than I was 20 30 even 40 years ago.

As Fer cars, trucks, Suv's, boats, bikes, they have always been bad investments, but people buy em an brag about em, knowing they loose Moore and more money on em every day!

It seems prices have really escalated in the last 4-5 years. I have a few guns (pistols, rifles, or shotguns) that I would still like to get but even the most modestly priced ones are pushing the $1000 limit. Ouch!

Maybe Ruger isn't making many S/A Revolvers & instead are turning out plastic & AR stuff.

I believe the only SA they are currently producing is the new Wranglers and convertible Wranglers.

There's opportunities out there, I got in on an estate of a serious gun collector. The first round only had a few guns and I acquired a ANIB 10/22 high polished ss international. Then second round I got a 10/22 Charger. Third round was just guns and accessories, and I made the trip to the preview because I've never seen that many 3 screw Rugers in 1 place at 1 time. 7 day online auction and the last 24 hours was insane, I had to focus on my preferences of short barrels and try to aquire a couple of 3 screws. I wound up with his other charger and 8 more Rugers. 6 were 3 screws models. The ss birds head 45 colt/45 acp was 1 I really wanted. And I got them at fair prices.

I've seen new production Blackhawks, Single Sixes and Super Blackhawks showing up locally for the last 4-5 months.

Good deal, last I checked was early this year and the distributor hadn't been able to get any from Ruger.

In the 90s I had a number of Blackhawks. Wish I'd have kept them. I am now repurchasing when I find a deal. They are now keepers. In 1996 I straight traded a gen 2 Glock 22 for a 5 1/2" Redhawk. Still have that one. The price of those has gone up. Not so with the Glock.
