Because 44 special flattops are hard to find, much less in stainless with a Bisley grip. I walked into a small gun shop and asked if they had any big bore Blackhawks. Guy walks out and said, "I got two of these today", and there they were. Yes...I'd prefer 5.5" but I wasn't about to pass up a...

That's the model 0877 that I want. I didn't realize they're not in production yet. I've seen it on Ruger's dealer exclusive page and figured it was from some time back.

Hi all, Recently I've gone down the rabbit hole of searching for 5.5" stainless Bisley gripped Blackhawks. It all started last year with a Bisley 45LC/45ACP convertible. Since then I stumbled into a 4.68" 44 Special, lucked out on a .41 Magnum, and recently won a .357 mag on GB. The one I'm...

Ruger received #3 yesterday after going back and forth for a couple of weeks to get the shipping label. We'll see what happens. If they don't get it right this time, I'm going to ask them to send me something else.

Contender...no offense taken. I learned a long time ago in my military competitive marksmanship days, that varied perspectives and coaches who can watch what you are or are not doing are all valuable data points, that if leveraged appropriately, will lead to success on the range. All good...

Last week I stumbled upon a 1998 production new old stock 5.5" stainless single six convertible and couldn't walk away. I promptly bought some 22 Mag, CCI Maxi-Mag 40 gr Target and Hornady 30 gr V-max. I grabbed some 40 gr. 22LR Aguila from my stash and headed to the range after cleaning the...

Well, here's an update. I sent pics of the SP101 to Ruger and they strongly suggested that I not shoot the gun. They sent me a return label and on arrival the "revolver guy" inspected it and they informed me they'd be sending me a new revolver. I asked the very friendly customer service rep if...

The Gods were watching and the Heaven's aligned. Within a week of posting this, I found this bad boy...new in box, never fired. $950 shipped. I'll be shooting it for the first time tomorrow. Can't wait!

The one on Gunbroker had a Buy it Now for $1149.

I've been on the hunt for a stainless Blackhawk in 41 Magnum. The only one I've ever seen was a 5.5" Bisley model and I guess it is the unicorn for me right now. I had a seller arrange to meet me for a face to face sale last month for one but he was a no show. Then, when I came home to use Buy...

In the last couple of months I've scored three new Blackhawk's. The first was a distributor exclusive stainless 5.5" 45 Colt Bisley convertible. The next was a 6.5" stainless .357 and just today I found a brand new Lipsey's 4.65" stainless 44 Special Flat Top Bisley! My 45 Colt Bisley had a...

Hello all, I've been lurking here for awhile, but this is my first post. I've been a S&W guy for quite some time and I've had a handful of Ruger revolvers over the years but have only recently started to grow my Ruger collection. Recently I purchased a couple of stainless Blackhawk's and a New...
