Any Love for Ruger Single Actions?

[Wyatt Burp]

Wyatt, if it upsets you to have that lonely set of stags, you could send 'em east. We could put 'em on MY 3-screw Super.


Anything to help a bud.

I would be perfectly willing to sell or trade ‘em, but I can’t. My nephew bought a SBH and preferred the optional rubber Pachs. that came with it and he gave me the stags. So looks like I need another SBH. Or a SBH grip frame to put on my .357 Blackhawk and put them on it.

 

[Nedroe]

Yep, There is.......

I have latched onto a few over the years. Started with this 5-1/2" stainless SBH

Then this custom SBH, 4-5/8"

Then a 5-1/2" blue SBH

Last year I picked these 2, a Brass Frame SBH

and a custom square back BH .357

Never know when I might feel the urge to splurge on more.

Gotta make it yourself. http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-re...you-keep-store-your-s-ws-2.html#post136251708

Hey. I like that Mersin & Hulbert. If that’s what it is, that is. And what an excellent handgun safe arrangement. I might steel your idea.

I really like my 50th FT 44 also. Tell us about those grips. Really like them

Thanks. Those are "Spalted Maple". I don't remember the makers name, I bought them off of ebay a number of years ago. They are cut a little thicker than standard Ruger grips, and for my big hands, that makes all the difference in feel and recoil comfort. I like the 50th Flat Top as well. The balance and shootability of the 6 1/2 inch barrel is nice, and it is one of my more accurate Ruger S/A's. I have been seriously considering having it refinished in a high polish bright blue.

Yes, that's a Merwin Hulbert Pocket Army in .44-40, with a folding hammer. I'm pretty sure I've posted about it before.

In the thread about safe storage, further down another member posted about modifying his safe in a similar way but was able to find a place online that would make custom size drawers, as opposed to building them from scratch like I did.

I would post links but I'm away from home and using my phone.

I made this holster in the mid 1980s for a Colt SAA but the gun set too deep in in it for me. A few years back finally getting a Super blackhawk I found it fit the holster perfectly. The belt was made more recently for another holster.

My Blackhawk, in 45 LC, was my first handgun and got me started handloading. It has a Super Blackhawk grip frame and hammer. The grips are Eagle Grips imitation ivory. The ejector rod housing was replaced with a steel version with a small round head rod. Lee's Gunsmithing provided the Gunslinger Spring Kit. The front sight has a brass insert, but I blacked out the sides, so it's hard to see from the pictures. The gun was given a fine polishing and high gloss bluing. I had the gunsmith polish and blue the sides of the hammer and trigger. I like the different look. Of course, it's accurate too. 8 grains of Unique and a 250 grain semiwadcutter are the favored load.

 

[Irate45]

These are my Vaqueros. Grips are rosewood Eagle Grips. The ejector rod housings were replaced with steel and rods are the bullseye style. They have Power Custom Half Cock Hammer and Trigger Kits.

Here's my one and only but I'm looking for a Birdshead 45 ACP.

 

[Alpo]

Then there's this pair of 6 1/2" OM 357s. With the authentic "TV Western" plastic "jigged bone" grips.

 

[rbrbrb6]

There are a few that live here. Tough to pick a favorite but this 44 flat top by Jim Stroh with a steel grip frame, Clements bisley hammer and one piece ivories is one of my favorites.

I never really expected to participate in a Ruger Single Action thread on Smith & Wesson Forum or anywhere else. My Dad sent his along home with me along with his M1 Carbine.

[Watchdog]

Yes.

Two Old Models in .45 Colt. Unconverted, of course.

I have a NMBH , 4 5/8" barrel in 41 magnum . It had a lot of custom work done by the previous owner . The smaller grip never fit my larger hand , so I had thought about selling it . I decided to give it one more try and down load it to what the 41 was originally intended to be , a 41 special using a 200 gr bullet at about 900 fps . That also closely duplicates the old 38 WCF (38-40) . I didn't have a 200 gr bullet so I used a 210 over 6.0 grs of WST . Man oh man what a winner . I'll definitely keep it now . Shooting it one handed is easy . It's a fun gun to shoot , very accurate , plenty of power and easy to handle . I have a left hand holster for it so it could easily become my " out in the desert " gun . Now I need to work on my OM Vaquero , 4 5/8" in 45 C , same smallish grip . Regards, Paul

There might be another one or two Ruger single actions hiding in the gun safe.

Both are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I have been looking at a Ruger Blackhawk convertible, the 5 1/2" 38/357 with the extra 9mm cylinder. My reason for interest in this model is that it is the only 5 1/2" version available. I do not need or want the 9mm cylinder. My concern is this:
38 special and 357 magnum bullet diameters are .357 for jacketed and .358 for lead. Nine mm bullets measure .355 and .356 by comparison. So I wonder about the groove diameter of the barrel. It cannot shoot both 38/357 and 9mm well. It is either too big for 9mm or too small for 38/357. Any insights that you could provide would be welcomed.
