Ruger OM Blackhawks, with short barrels in 357 Mag, with buffalo horn grips do you. Well here is another save. I found the pistol in a pawn shop in Odessa Texas for $120.00. The cylinder and barrel was very pitted. I sent it back to Ruger, and they replaced the cylinder, barrel and blued it for $125.00. They did convert it, but send the old parts back. I put in the old parts, added a steel ejector housing, a Belt Mountain base pin, and a stainless steel grip frame from an Old Army. I swaped the buffalo Horn grips off Doc O'Mera. Shoots as well as it looks.

The OM Superblack Hawk was found in the same pawn shop, and brought it home for $210.00. I had it matt blued, added a steel ejector housing and belt mountain pin. The grips are some fancy walnut from Ted Adamovitch (Blu-Magnum) I did a home trigger job on both pistols. I am not a big single action fan, but these are to fine vintage Rugers that I saved and both shoot very well.

They told me you could not receive mail where you are locked up.
