Back in the 70s when 'Dirty Harry' made the S&W 29s evaporate, and you could buy Ruger Super Blackhawks for the same reason, I bought a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 Colt caliber. I cut my teeth on learning to reload, cast bullets, and handgun hunt. I put Jay Scott ivory stocks., (thye were made out of some man made material) bought Bianchi holster and belt. I finally gave the whole system to my oldest grandson. I need to get my Dillon 650 repaired and start cranking out some ammo for him, 45 Colt ammo is a bit pricy. Blackhawks are grand utilitarian side arms.
