I told myself that I would not own any New Model Rugers. And then Lipseys commissioned a run of .44 Special Flat Tops made on the smaller .357 Blackhawk frame and with a steel Bisley grip frame and steel ejector rod housing. They thankfully stamped the horrid, defacing safety warning on the bottom of the barrel where you forget it is there. I couldn't resist and it is a great shooter. Stocks are cocobolo from Esmeralda.

Not my only Blackhawk but the only one I have a picture of right now.
5 and 1/2 inch new model Super Blackhawk

I am not a fan of two-tone revolvers, but for some reason that escapes me, I always thought Jeff Cooper's Super Blackhawk was particularly handsome. It was blue, had custom grips, and the cylinder was re-finished in Armoloy, which gave the cylinder the appearance of matte stainless. Perhaps it was the business-like appearance of a working revolver used for real for hunting. I do not have a picture of the revolver. If any of you have a picture of it, feel free to post it.

This is an old, considerably modified, SBH that I've had for many years. I've posted it here before. I worked this over to better suit my needs for carrying in big bear country back when I lived in the Yellowstone area. Thankfully, I never had to see how well it would work on a griz with a heavy, hardcast bullet!

I have quite a few, but not a lot of pics. I'll look for some more. Here's a John Gallagher conversion of an OM flattop .357 to .44 special. Love this gun - my perfect packing pistol, whose only real competition in that department is my 4" S&W M-24-3.



New Model 50th Anniversary Flattop .44:





Old Model .30 Carbine s.n. 700



Old Army, the .30 Carbine again, and bottom is an OM Flattop .44 in the scarcer 7 1/2" barrel. It has a steel gripframe and later production grips, as you can see.



Old Model Super Single Six, custom work by John Gallagher again. Cut to 4 5/8", post/bead front and wide V notch rear sight.



I got a few more, but that's what I can lay hands on for pics right now. Just bought another OM Super Blackhawk .44 that's been cut to 4 5/8", I'm a sucker for a short-barreled .44.

My old 1976 Ruger NM Blackhawk .357 mag., customized by me in 1983 (pre Vaquero/saa stainless clone) to a more traditional SAA style. It was really beat up (cosmetically) when I got it used, so I saw no harm in the mods. Kind of an early Vaquero prototype I made. It's worked out really well for me. I still love it.

Here's a couple of my favorites.

Ruger Vaquero in .44 Magnum:

A short pipe AND a bird's head. I can't imagine what that's like to fire.

My Lipsey's .45 LC/.45 ACP Convertible SS 5-1/2" NM BlackHawk Flat Top.

I want to play, here's a few that I have. The Single Six 22 and Blackhawk 357 are both stainless, both "76" Centennial models and both 6 ½" barrels. The Vaquero is a 45 Colt, 5 ½" barrel, original model. The Bearcat is stainless 22 cal.

 

[Shark Bait]

A short pipe AND a bird's head. I can't imagine what that's like to fire.

This configuration works quite well for me. It points very naturally and the birds head grip fits my palm well. Recoil is sharp with factory magnum ammo, but doable. For a day at the range I prefer to shoot 44 Special. The Buffalo Bore heavy 44 Special with a 255 grain Keith bullet is a good load for it.

 

[Jingles]

.44 Mag 3.75" SBH. Just in case one of those Southern California Grizzly Bears ever sneaks up on me.

 

[Mule Packer]

I've got a few. Here are some old model Vaqueros and one Blackhawk.

A Single Six.

A Bearcat.

An old model Vaquero Sheriff's model in .45 Colt.

And of course, the one that has gone on just about every pack trip with me and the pack string for almost thirty years...Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt.

Here's a group of .44 Specials. The two Rugers are Old Model .357s that Alan Harton converted for me. I sold the 5 1/2" one, but still have the 4 5/8". It was converted by using a Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum barrel. It was slightly oversized in diameter and Alan turned down a mite. This eliminated the Ruger "billboard" warning.

I have a 4 5/8" SBH that I cut down from 7 1/2". It has been fitted with a Bisley grip. A 4 5/8" .45 Colt/.45 ACP New Model, an Old Army, a stainless NM Bearcat and a three digit .357 Flat top round out my Ruger SA collection. I'll have to take pictures of those.

I have picked up a couple of Ruger single actions over the years:



Just added this .44 special Sheriff's Model a couple of months ago:

 

[Lee's Landing Billy]

Recently sold 6 3-screw models including 2 Flattops. These are the only remaining Ruger SAs I have. The 3 screw 45 was only made from 1971-1973. The little Bearcat is on of my favorites.

Who did the case hardening on the .45? Looks good.
