'Still looking... To the TOP!

From what I gather, that should be the deciding factor -price. Reading older posts regarding this era of the “Performance Center” guns, I see a mix of love and, well… hate for anything after JMB, JM*, etc. I get it. The Performance Center moniker is so much marketing, anymore. Still, except...

Yes, it has the original (2) magazines. The trigger is excellent, the slide-to-receiver fit is as tight as any high-end 1911 I've ever handled, and the stiff ambidextrous safety needs to be "broken-in." I'd like to hear from anyone who has owned one near the UFB serial number range. -Bill...

I’ve got a line on one of the later production Performance Center 1911s. I can get it for $1,100, OTD. What say ye? Is that a good price? I’d say condition is near excellent. I can’t find any wear marks except on the barrel, and it’s not a lot. TIA, -Bill

My thoughts, exactly. As a matter of fact, I just paid that amount yesterday for a 3rd Model HE, 6th Change in .32 Long (499xxx). The nickel looks like someone took a piece of scotch-brite to it. I’ll work on it with Flitz and post pics after it looks satisfactory. Was it worth 2 bills?…...

Oops… .357 Magnum. I’ve had a few SBHs and Blackhawks, & Single Sixes over the years. This is my first in .357 Magnum. I Like These Pennsylvania Hickory Stocks by Bill “Sack” Peterson I’ve Had Awhile -Bill

Got a “no-frills” Ruger Blackhawk, made in 2006. It came with Hogue MonoGrip and a zip case. Best part: $400, out-the-door! After Complete Disassembly, Lube, Renaissance Wax & Different Stocks… -Westinghouse (Paper) Micarta- -Bill

TO THE TOP!

Uh, yeah… A 14 year old thread. :rolleyes: The NYSP-marked 28-2 is the only Highway Patrolman that I know of with RR/WO sights from the factory. -Bill

Please let me know what you have for a New Model Super Blackhawk with the Dragoon grip frame. Have a heart and help this former orphan get some nice shoes. Heh heh heh. :p Please PM with what you have. Thanks. -Bill

Has anyone here bought the Faux Ivory plowhandle grips from LS Grips? I bought a NM SBH two days ago that came with Pachmyer Presentation grips… good for range day, but ugly. Please share your experience. I am considering placing an order. However, at $75 plus tax and shipping, I would like...

Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk, that I bought this week. Vintage 1982, the year I turned 18 and graduated high school. -Bill P.S. Does anyone have a line on some nice beveled-bottom plowhandles in American Holly? ;) Indoor Lighting Washes Away the Plum Tones

Yes, pictures would help... And, welcome to the forum. -Bill

Well, I had to check the provided link... Numrich still had a pair of these stocks, and I ordered them. -Now, for the crazy part: I no longer have a Security Six. I sold the blued example and my 90 year old father has the stainless one that I found for him. Yes, I'll get it one day. I just...

Thank you Douglas Jr. for putting in the time and effort to illustrate your country’s use of this venerated sidearm. I doubt I or any of us will ever see a better display! Speaking of which, is this a display in the public view in Brazil? It’s definitely of the highest condition and is truly...

The closest identified sight I see is shown on page 32 of Volume 56, Number 2 • Summer 2022… the King Modified Patridge. The one the OP has isn’t a King, that I can tell, but it is a modified Patridge blade. -Bill King Modified Patridge on 6.5” S&W DA .45 Barrel

Possible Federal Agency Gun -Will Get Letter Ruger Speed Six w/Scarce 3" Bbl. -possible USPS Postal Inspector gun! I'll send for a letter tomorrow. ;) -Bill 1987 Speed Six Shown with 1989, 1st Year SP-101 UPDATE: Letter of Authenticity from Ruger Identifies U.S. Postal Service Gun

Shrek Of The Arctic, you have a really good-looking Brazilian. Since most of us have never seen one up close, please post a few close-ups of the finish from multiple angles. It would help my getting better educated on this hard-to-find gun. Thank you for sharing your great find! -Bill

That is a beauty!... in all its well-used fineness. A working gun with history, it clearly found a good home. Thanks for sharing. I'd enjoy seeing more pictures, please. :) -Bill

Beautiful examples, all! And, mostly original... Mine is clearly not original, but I sure would like to know its (unknown, maybe unknowable) story. I hope to get an original example, one day. In the meantime, I'll gladly take any 2nd Model HEs I can find! ;) Keep 'em coming! -Bill SN 66430...
