Re: New revolver
My Blackhawk was the same model except for being the 4 5/8" barrel. Keep in mind that you can get factory aluminum case 45 auto ammo, now, for the same price as 22 mag and the aluminum case stuff shoots accurately in the Blackhawk. The only factory ammo centerfire handgun cartridge cheaper to shoot than the 45 auto is the 9mm.

Re: New revolver
Factory loads I can get 22 mag for about the same price as 9mm aluminum case (14 vrs 17 cents ea). 45 auto aluminum case costs me about 10cents more (23-27 cents ea) depending on brand.

Re: New revolver
They are nice. I would probably go for the .45 as well. It may be more of what it is intended to do. Not much cost difference. But, you did stated you intend to buy both. So, choose your own pain. At least, you can blame yourself if you don't like your choice and be happy about it. Then, buy the other one and call it a day.
ESquared, this is the rest of the story:

I already reload .45 ACP for my Sig P220. Probably have at least 250-300 rounds already loaded.North Country Gal wrote:My Blackhawk was the same model except for being the 4 5/8" barrel.

Re: New revolver
One plus for the revolver is no worries about any ammo cycling, properly. Handles any bullet type or velocity. Can handle all the +P level loads you want to shoot without the need to change recoil springs or worry about wear and tear. If you can stuff it in the revolver, it will shoot it. The Blackhawk is a tank.

Re: New revolver
Since you all are such experts (and I MEAN that) on S&Ws, and since you seem to like the Model 67, could I trouble you for an opinion on this one?

If you look closely at pic #6, you'll see "CTG" at the end of the markings on the barrel. What does that signify? This piece looks clean to me, adjustable sights, but non-original grips and no box or papers.
Thoughts?

Re: New revolver
Its an abbreviation for 'Cartridge' ."CTG" at the end of the markings on the barrel.
Even at $525 its not bad. Better hit 'buy it now' !

Re: New revolver
CTG = Cartridge. Good grief.
