new gun for the trail, pic

[hollowdweller]

Love the Blackhawk. Have the .30 M1 and the .45 ACP/.45 LC versions.

I really LIKE that gun. I built something similar, converting a 4 5/8" 45 Colt/45ACP BH by adding a Bisley grip, hammer and trigger.

Going to use it for CCW ?

Get two so you have a "Dodge City reload!"

The best way to carry spare ammo, is with another gun wrapped around it.

...or something like that...

Gorgeous rig. I have a SBH 7.5" in a Galco SAO holster. I've been lusting for a BH in .45 with 5.5" barrel for quite a while.

Great set up man! I like that a lot!

That is a great rig! Single actions are my favorite, and yours is a perfect example of why
I like them so much. Congratulations!!!

i love the Ruger single actions...have a couple myself, but thats one of the purdiest ive seen in quite awhile. i hadnt seen that new model, so i might have to make a trip to the lgs and order one for myself.....and it absolutely love the crossdraw rig. congrats!

That is a really nice rig! Wish it was available in 41 mag in the same configuration.

 

[Wicked Sharp]

Beautiful rig!!! A nice set of express sights would really complement that short barrel.

Nice set up, thanks for sharing.

That is a beautiful gun! I really like the contrast between the black and the silver.

The barrel looks short enough to keep things VERY interesting should you decide to put full power loads through it.

It's about as far from a traditional hogleg as you can get, but oddly enough this is my trail gun: S&W 340 PD. Heck, it's really the only gun I cary anywhere these days.

It's the weight. I'm just not willing to lug around any extra weight these days. The pictured ammo weighs more than the weapon. I wish it had an exposed hammer, but when I bought it I needed a gun that would draw fast out of the pocket, so hammerless was the way to go.

It's hardly a tack driver, but it's more accurate than most people would suspect. Full-house .357's do kick quite hard...about like catching a baseball barehanded, but the first five aren't too bad. Regular .38's are a pussycat.

I'd love to have the same J-frame ultralight scandium and titanium revolver with a four inch barrel, but they don't make such a thing. I've thought about buying the model 60 and fitting my titanium cylinder to it, but I don't know how well that would work or how much weight I'd save.

The shotshells harvest grouse quite effectively. Anything else I'd shoot would have to be within biting distance anyway, so I guess it's accurate enough for me.

I love Ruger SA revolvers in .44 Mag, and have several myself. For a trail gun though, I really prefer a .22 DA revolver

I fell in love with the holster!
