I don't have any pics, but it's an old model ruger blackhawk 357 4 5/8". Just feels right in the hand, love that click click click when you cock it (not upgraded w/ transfer bar) and after putting a taylor throat in it to get rid of the barrel constriction, it's fairly accurate. From 105 gr plinkers to 200 gr thumbers, it's pretty versatile as well. Only gun I've sold and bought back. Do NOT convert your 3 screw. Leave it as Bill designed it If your planning on dropping it on the hammer? Carry it on an empty chamber

Carry it on an empty chamber There is a reason it hasn't been converted  I have no problem carrying it with 5, if you can't do it with 5, 6, or 10 or 15 ain't the right answer.

Had one 3 screw Single-Six that I sold to my Brother, bought it back, then sold it to him again. That time he sold it to a stranger!
Presently have 3, 3 screw Rugers that will NEVER be traded or sold.
I know how to load one, skip one and load 4.
Mine will NEVER be converted. No need...

My funnest handgun to shoot is a 1906 Colt Bisley Model .44WCF with 4 3/4" barrel that I traded a Mexican "vigilante" (volunteer cop) out of back in 1960. It had been half-ass converted to an SAA, but I found the original parts (easier back then) and re-converted it to Bisley style w/original grips and grip frame, mainspring, etc. Looks good, but the numbers don't match, of course. Don't shoot it much any more, but it shoots .44-40 "Cowboy" loads very well; easy to keep 5 in he black at 25 yards with a two-hand hold.
In those days, you paid a little mordida to the Aduana Mexicana (customs) and just brought guns back with you--as long as they were legal in the US and you didn't abuse the privilege (like bring a truckload), the Border Patrol just said "It's only gunrunning if you're going SOUTH!"
Like all Mexican guns of this period, this one served in the 1910 Revolution....he said. I bought the gun, not the story.
