You guys are a bad influence...
The 7 1/2" Ruger Blackhawk in 45 followed me home today. Today the shop had a pristine stainless one for $75 more with a 5 1/2" barrel but after handling both I went long and blued. The stainless had sharp checkered grips on it and the blued had pachys. May have to do something about the pachys but they are ok for now. A part of me says a single action needs to be blued steel. The gun has a few blemishes in the bluing but doesn't look like it has been shot much and it has not been abused. I'll try to get a picture of it this weekend. Nothing fancy but I have wanted one for years - now my Single Six has a big brother. That Single Six I bought back in 1981 and was my first handgun.

- I hope it will shoot as well for you as the Astra does -
