Any Love for Ruger Single Actions?

[Shark Bait]

Of all the various types of firearms made by Ruger, I like their single action revolvers the best. I was very happy to find this early model Vaquero in a pawn shop recently. It has the larger frame and can handle the "Ruger only" loads. The New Vaqueros (except for the recent .44 mag) have a smaller frame designed to mimick the Colt SAA better.

This gun appears to be one made for Davidson's as a special edition. I think the only thing making it "special" is that it came with 45 Colt and 45 ACP cylinders.

Please share pics of your favorite Ruger SA's. Thanks!

NOT ASHAMED TO ADMIT IT.

Freedom arms they aint, & they kinda have the market sewn up but YES, the black powder old army, single 6 convertible 22, & the 44 mag SBH were good to me. Have yet to own a 4 1/2" 45LC.

I really like me early 70's Super Blackhawk. But my nickel 4" 29-2 is still my favorite

I've got a three screw Blackhawk 357 that puts 'em where you want 'em.

Can't ask for more than that.

Was my deer pistol til the deer decided that they would no longer succumb to 357 and agreed not to lay down for less than a 44 mag.

Ruger single actions has always been favorites to me.

I have it's shorter barreled Davidson's Special brother. Added elk horn grips to mine.

Not only my favorite Ruger single action revolver, but my only one.
New Model Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum, with a few accessories.
The holster is by Hunter.

Looks sharp with those grips. I'm hoping to get to the range this weekend.

I'd rather hear 4 clicks.

My dad had a BH in .41 Magnum, and I started shooting it the day after he bought it, when I was eleven years old.

I gravitate more towards S&W and Colt these days, but yes, I still love Ruger revolvers!

Elmer Keith stated that the Ruger SBH was the finest single-action made, and I've always agreed with him. It's always been my favorite.

Here's my modest collection:

And the BH .357 makes four clicks!

Here’s my latest, but it has lots of company.

I'm very fond of the Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Long Colt, especially those with a satin Stainless Steel finish.

I have a few, plus a couple of DA Ruger revolvers. I also have a 6" Bearcat on order, and a couple of other SAs that are in another drawer.

Calibers include .22LR, .22WMR, .32 H&R, .327 Magnum, .357 Magnum, .357 Maximum, .44 Special, .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, .45 ACP, and .500 Linebaugh. The .22WMR and .45 ACP are via interchangeable cylinders.

Of course it does. It's still a 3 screw model.

Always had a Blackhawk on my list...

The thing is that I have to be super selective about what I buy and it's not that high on the list.

This Super Blackhawk in.44 mag was the first handgun I ever purchased , some 35+ years ago to hunt white tail deer. I have semi retired it in favor of a scoped model 629 due to aging eyes but I’ll never part with it.

I Vaquero or pair of them has always been on my want list. I never really see them in my area though, and certainly not used..

 

[RSBH44]

I also just picked up this single six with extra .22 mag cylinder

A stainless grip frame made our 7.5” 45C’s balance well worth the installation....... and just bought a Winchester Miroku ‘92 24” so the kids will have an almost complete gift ...... Florida kids can’t hunt with fishing rods alone in the Rockies/Sierras or Alaska.
Next is a COLT SAA 4.5” 45 Long Colt.

Used Blackhawks are available for reasonable prices and ours received a “tuneup” at the factory, in ‘81, and it makes everyone a smiling sharpshooter.
Don’t really need the Colt but.....
