Post your Ruger pics here to show off

(By putting them here, it makes it easier for new members to find pics of something if they are interested in a certain model)...

O.K. These are "Three-screw" Ruger Blackhawks, made prior to 1973:



And these are "New Model" Ruger Blackhawks, both have had their frames color case hardened, by Doug Turnbull. The Super Blackhawk is fitted with a standard Blackhawk hammer, which I prefer:



All grips are after market of various woods. Top to bottom, walnut, mesquite, Bolivian rosewood, ebony.

And, still further............

This is a 1958 vintage Ruger "Flattop" Blackhawk:



And this is a "Three -Screw" of about 1963 vintage, with the added "ears" on either side of the rear sight:



A close-up of the "ears".



The Flattop is one of the most highly desired of Blackhawks, both for collectors and conversions.

Conversions?

This gun started out as a three-screw, blue, .357 Magnum:



It has been converted to .44 Special, the frame color case hardened, aluminum ejector rod housing and grip frame replaced with steel parts, and walnut grips from CaryC. The right-side grip has a Tee-nut type of threaded insert so does not show on this side.

Accuracy is superb. The work of reboring was done by Dave Clements, as was the refinishing.

Now ya'll see why Rugers are so intriguing.

Hello. I have but two Ruger revolvers, an SP-101 and a GP-100.


Both of these revolvers have proven themselves both reliable and accurate for me. With magnums in the 140 to 158-gr. range, POA pretty much equals POI at 15 yards and the same holds true for the mid-range 125-gr. magnums like Corbon's 125-gr. DPX and Remington's Golden Saber in the same weight. (These last two chew out the lower half of the bullseye while the full-power 140-158 gr pretty much get the center or just a tad above.) I find them very useful and they stay loaded 24/7; I cannot praise a handgun more than that.

Best.
