That's true if you want the heavier SS gun instead of a blued gun. The SS Blackhawks have a steel grip frame and weigh 6-8 ounces more than their blued counterparts.
Also, if you check Ruger's web site, the SS Blackhawk is no longer listed in .45 Colt.
An unfortunate oversite!!! Hopefully they get back to making them, the used SS blackhawk .45's are creeping up in price. I spend too much time in or near water and the salty coast to go blued. Thought about the Lipsey's flattop frame, but wanted to be able to load up a litte if needed. But that is a good compromise for the weight issue.
