What is it about a Ruger Blackhawk?

[1911ly]

I have 3 Blackhawks and was offered a 4th today. A Super Blackhawk 3 screw 44mag. I will no doubt buy the dang thing. I enjoy shooting them.

I am kicking myself for not saving the pics, but there was a thread on reddit that had some pics of a guys blackhawk (possibly super?) that got trapped between his truck and the road as he was flipping around during a crash. Aside from the obvious grinds (real bad on the frame around the grips, and the end of the barrel) the only other thing I recall happening to the pistol was the pin holding the cylinder in broke. You could see a quite perfect groove cut in the cylinder from the firing pin as the cylinder was being spun while rolling down the road. But, it was essentially still intact. AFTER BEING CAUGHT BETWEEN A 2-3 TON VEHICLE AND THE ROAD DURING A ROLLOVER. That right there kinda sealed the deal for me. Smith's are realllll pretty, and real smooth...but that kind of strength speaks to the reliability I like in guns. I don't think I could actually break a Blackhawk, and that almost scares me.

I was hoping to have pics of my new Bisley hunter tonight, but Buds is slow shipping right now. Last few I've bought from them they've shipped within a day or two.

Please post 'em when you get it! Love to see that Bisley Hunter!

Woohoo glad to see some Blackhawk and Ruger love! Love mine, I just had it out the other day to dust it off for deer season.

Nothing yet Brother....I am going to play with it when it gets here...I bet you had no idea "putting it on the books" included me shooting at imaginary deer in the parking lot!

You've been good luck with the other guns I've transferred through your shop, so be my guest! You can even go ahead and mount a nice scope on it, and put it in some cool, old west type leather for me, too!

Got an email that it shipped today, so I'll see ya Tuesday afternoon.

For sure one of the best looking firearm ever made, every serious gun owner should have one in their collection!

My shooting buddy has one in 44mag. It is very accurate at 25 yards.

Love mine but don't get the polished stainless grips tough to hold onto, looks great. Think I will look for aged ivory soon

 

[littletommy]

Finally got mine today.......it was worth the wait.

I've caved in to pressure from my oldest son, and will be going Deer hunting this season for the first time in over 20 years. I can't wait to hunt with this baby.

That is my dream Blackhawk, LT-- congrats on what I think is the sweetest wheelgun currently made!

Just got this yesterday. Can't wait to shoot it.

 

[Seancass]

Wow look at all these Bisley Hunters!

This past weekend, mine shot this 3 shot group at 100 yards! I'm pretty happy with it! I'd forgotten how accurate it is!

 

[Hohn]

That is awesome! 3 MOA from a revolver with regular ammo?

Killer. Just killer.
