I've got one of those convertibles. I need to take it out shooting, it has been a long time since I last fired it.

I'd be tempted to try these in it. http://rimrockbullets.net/top-shelf...ullets/45-lc-225-gr-dewc-fb-per-500.htmlI think a Blackhawk in 45ACP could displace my .44 Special. Travis

That wadcutter would probably make a wicked bunny basher. Looking around I saw Matt's Bullets offers a 270 gr full wadcutter.
I've seen a few of the 45 convertibles online in the flat-top frame.
With this 45 up and running, I think my 44 (SBH) is going to get lonely.

I never knew they made them in the Flat Top? That'd be a nice setup.
I've been using the .44 version of that 200gr WC and it's been dynamite on bunnies. I load them slow. 800fps or so.

Damn... I might need to get one of those for my daughter.
That's a great do-all gun.

The flat-top is nice for sure. in the 4.6" bbl., only 36 oz, and all steel. My BH is 39 oz, with an aluminum grip frame, but more steel on the frame/cylinder.
I went back and forth between the two. The BH grip is a little bigger, and a little more room behind the triggerguard. I liked the BH grip better in the end, but that's a personal choice.
Of course the BH will handle all the snorty ammo, but honestly I don't see myself shooting anything the flat-top wouldn't handle. I've still got the SBH 44 for the stomper loads.

I don't think you can go wrong either way, I just like the Flat Tops.

Ruger just makes great single-actions. From the Bearcat to the Bisley, and all stops in between.

Yep.
Best bargain in handguns IMO. That and used Glocks.

You bet.
I'm no a huge collector of handguns, seven altogether. They are all Ruger or Glock.

I've had a few others, good and not so great. S&W 642, Colt Anaconda, Taurus 945, Hi Standard Double-Nine, even a Jennings J22 (gag)....grin
The Rugers and Glocks are great utilitarian tools, they seem to stick around.

Shane,
some very nice shooting, and a great looking rig too. the new grips juxtaposed against the deep blue make it very striking.
however, in reading your post--i'm shocked about the Jennings--that you gave up on such a fine piece of hardware!
all learning is like a funnel: however, contrary to popular thought, one begins with the the narrow end. the more you progress, the more it expands into greater discovery--and the less of an audience you will have...

The Jennings J-22 wouldn't penetrate a coffee can, with CCI Mini Mags.
I don't know if it was the short barrel, or if the bore was too oversized to get a good gas seal.

it wouldn't be the length of the barrel, as the S&W Escort will easily punch through a 2x4 sideways (1 1/2 inches) with high velocity loads...
