New to me Blackhawk
New to me Blackhawk
I ordered a previously owned Ruger New Model Blackhawk in .45 Colt. It should be here in a few days. No pictures yet but it is blued glossy finish with black walnut grips. The pictures show some signs of wear on the finish and the grips are quite dark as if handled some. It is coming from Cabela's gun library in Louisville KY. I think I got a good price. Cost $429.00 Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to me.

Re: New to me Blackhawk
Congrats on the new to you BH. What barrel length?
I have one and a Vaquero, both with 4 5/8", lots of fun.

Re: New to me Blackhawk
Thanks. It's 7.5" barrel length. I actually was looking for 5.5" barrel but the price was right on this one.
Don't have a cowboy rig yet. I agree it won't look right w/o one.

Re: New to me Blackhawk
Did someone mention single action revolvers? 
Congrats and definitely tell us more when it arrives.

Re: New to me Blackhawk
looking forward to your range reports and use impressions .... specially, as to barrel jump and how the grip is affected by recoil

TMB,
That sounds super nice!! Can't go wrong with a Ruger.
Do you plan on getting a 45acp cylinder for it as well???

Re: New to me Blackhawk
I'd like to have another cylinder for .45acp but it's my understanding that the cylinder has to be fit to the gun.
It has come in. Yeah
Now I have to go to the Sheriff's department and see if they will change the address on my permit.
