Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine
I'm going to add to the overwhelming former posters. I also have one, have had for close to 40 years, used to fire it a lot, but then decided it was just a "fun" gun, with no earthly use. Too powerful for small game hunting, and not good enough for whitetail, and as the WW 2 ammo stock was sold and used up, I quit shooting mine.
Now, with all of the hoop and hollering concerning the .327 Federal, it might revive the carbine round, as it is jus tmore of the same. With half moon clips, a person could use .32 short and long, .32 ACP, H & R .32 mag, .327 Federal, and possibly the .30 carbine round. I have never attempted to reload it, but with other than the 110 grain FMJ bullet, it might find a use. I carried this .30 Carbine in Korea, and found it to be very lacking in what I wanted then, still has not shown me anything to change my mind yet either. Oh Yes, I did buy one fromthe DCM way back years ago, but it is almost useless, not suitable for even home defence, in my opinion.
