A few flattops. I think Ruger wimped out recreating them, notice the thickness of the top strap on the new models vs. the OM's. But, I still like them.

A couple of the pretty scarce Accusport Bisley's in 44 mag. About 935 0f them made in 2002 or 3. After 20 years Ruger is supposed to make them again for Lipsey's & they have a model number for it. But none have been seen so far.

Only have one Ruger SA these days. Old beater brass frame SBH. May try to pop a deer w it this fall.
Have used other OM and NM Supers to fill the freezer, but this brass frame was my dads.

Don't ask me about my military service or heroic acts...most of it is untrue.

Centershot: If your query also includes Ruger Super Blackhawks - I kinda "love'em". I have owned MANY Blackhawks and Super Blackhawks over the years in 357 Magnum, 44 Magnum and one in 41 Magnum. I bought them mostly as investments and shot them somewhat rarely. I am down to just one Ruger Super Blackhawk in 44 Remington Magnum now and it is new unfired in the box with 10 1/2" barrel. I will be selling this nifty and kind of rare pistol come July when I start to sell off my collection of guns. The first Ruger Blackhawk I purchased was a 357 Magnum back in 1969 when my older brother came home from his second tour in Viet Nam - I gave it to him on his birthday. We shot the hell out of that pistol before he returned from leave and back to duty. I am sure that shooting fest is partially responsible for my hearing loss - that 4 5/8" barreled Ruger was LOUD! Yeah I like'em a lot - "love" well kinda. They sure are popular on the used gun market - I know that! Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

I've never owned a Blackhawk but, have shot them, and they are indeed fine guns.
Why do I have to press 1, for English?

I like the Bisley models. But I did manage to hang on to one Blackhawk, a 3 screw 357. I almost sold it awhile ago but I couldn’t get what I wanted for it. I’m kinda glad it didn’t sell because it’s a very nice shooter. EPS Tortilla? I didn't know they made them for single actions. I really like it and the BH.

Shot many deer over the years with various .44 mags, a couple of which were BH's, then went to rifles for a few years. When I heard of the FT BH .44 Spl coming out I knew I had to had one and was first on the LGS list. Finally, upon arrival (supposedly the first one in MI) those cheese grater grips fit my hands like they were made for them and it instantly became my fave farm, horseback and woods gun. Now, with the front sight becoming a wad of fuzz it will soon be wearing a red dot sight to head for the woods this fall and fill that old itch and put some venison in the freezer with a handgun.
Oddly, no one makes a direct fit RMR mount for the NM FT so some machining will be involved.

I've owned 3 previously, and currently own another, in .44 magnum. I much prefer shooting my Redhawk. But a Blackhawk is kinda like a 1911 in that your collection is lacking if you don't have one.

I realize they CATALOG it, but do they MAKE it??
I’m not trying to be silly. I haven’t seen NEW PRODUCTION Blackhawks or Single-Six’s in probably 3 years....
Try Bud’s/ Cabela’s/Whitakers/Sportsman’s Warehouse/Scheel’s. Nuttin’....

I have a Stainless 5 1/2” Bisley Blackhawk in .45 Colt. One of my favorite revolvers.

Try Bud’s/ Cabela’s/Whitakers/Sportsman’s Warehouse/Scheel’s. Nuttin’.... I saw a new Single Six (5.5") on an LGS website this week. They don't make them continuously, they do "runs" when demand hits a pre-determined level (and scheduling allows), I haven't seen new Ruger Single Actions for awhile myself, but with the new Single Six on the website, I'm thinking they're tooling up to make some batches of each. Wheelguns aren't selling as well as self-defense small 9mms right now, so they concentrate on those and the revolvers suck dust until they decide to make more.

We have a local gun shop where you can buy any gun you want, as long as it's a 9 mm or 6.5 creedmoor.
