No pics (camera is out of film), but I love my Blackhawk Convertible. It's cool to be able to shoot cheap 9mm at $10 a pop. Since its a single action, there's no need for moon clips. Every now and then I splurge on some 357 magnums.

How in the world can you hang on to the birdshead grip when shooting the revolver. My two single action .45's a Ruger Blackhawk .45 ACP and .45 Colt and my Colt S.A.A..45 , both have bigger grips on them so my big mitts can hang on when they fire. Inquiring mind wants to know.

I'd like to see a picture of that please.
I missed this along the way, Dave. Did you want to see a picture of the Stetson?Image

That's an old hat, bought back around 1973.
