Until this week !! Got a new pistol this week, it's a 357 Blackhawk with a 4 1/2" bbl, serial# 53,19X. My wife said I looked like I needed a new gun :):):) So this was my choice. Looks like it was produced in 1964 going by the online serial number check. Whoever inherited this pistol from his grandfather must have watched Tombstone, and tried out his skills at playing Johnny Ringo, and yes the pistol suffered some. Have you ever noticed how concrete and front sights just don't mix ?? This gun didn't even have a drag mark from the cylinder dog. It amazes me that a gun could be 55 years old and still be un-used. But it was bought to shoot, and I intend to run thousands of rounds through it.
One of the members here sicked me on some leather for it, and it will be here next week. Thanks.
