I had this 7.5" Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt stolen out of my truck on Christmas Eve. It was set up for deer hunting with an Ultradot 30 and I had a chest rig for it too.
I would like to replace that before deer season rolls around.
It doesn't have to be a carbon copy of what I had stolen, but I want a long barreled big bore revolver I can set up for hunting.

Yessss, love hearing that. I live down the road from them!

This year I am trying to find a fixed sighted, 3" (maybe 4") medium framed .357. I would love a 3" 65 or a 3" 3/4 Lug GP100. Being in CA it is very hard to buy used guns because of our handgun roster. If I am unsuccessful, I think I will get a 4" GP100 MC with fixed sights.

I like the one on Gordon’s wishlist so much I got two
Ever since I saw a full sized S&W top break a few years ago in the Bishop Museum in Honolulu that was used in an attempted counter coup there I've had a hankering for one.
Maybe this is the year....

I would love to have a S&W top break to go with my Webleys but no one makes replicas of the double action S&W top breaks. It's got to be double action IMHO.

Just picked up a factory engraved Schofield, not sure where I go from here. Don't really have plans for anything in particular. I have some customs I want to get started on and have thought about getting some more engraving done.

This is at the top of my list.
Bisley Vaquero in .45 Colt

I like single actions and have a couple. Maybe a 32 caliber Ruger Single Six ? Something with a birds head grip and short barrel maybe ?
Haven't been to a gun show in a couple years. I got lucky before Christmas at the LGS so I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Well it's gonna be another Ruger , a 357, either another Blackhawk or another GP100.
Watching the broker, talked to one of my favorite dealers, exactly what I'm looking for might be a tall order, but no matter which of those 2 models I get, it will be anything but "settlling"

I have bought probably the only revolver I will buy this year already. A Pietta NMA 1858 Sheriffs model with 5.5" barrel. I have so many guns now I can't think of anything else I want. But the OPs gun sure has me thinking about it. What a nice looking gun.

I had wanted a S&W Model 10 for years but just never got around to buying one. A couple of weeks ago we had an unfired Model 10 Classic traded in. It followed me home.

The model 10 is just one of the best you can own. See my Sig line.

A 4" GP-100 is one of the best to own. But I would get the adjustable sighted version. Not so much because they are adjustable but because the sight picture is so much better. The high profile sights on the MC should also be good to go. Its most likely sighted in for the 158gr range of bullets. That works for me. I prefer the heavier bullets myself anyway.

Agreed.
Hopefully the perp(s) smoke a turd in hell

I have a love of fixed sight revolvers. I had, and regrettably traded a 581, I have a 642, a 360, a 58, a 10, and a Colt Night Cobra. I would love to get my hands on a model 520. (NY State police fixed sight Highway Patrolman). Fixed sight guns may not always shoot to point of aim, but they ALWAYS shoot to the same point.

My fixed sight model 65, model 10 with 6” barrel and model 10 HB all seem to shoot close to the sights as long as you stay with the original bullet weight of 158grs or real close to that. It’s the same with the three 32 Long revolvers I own. Stick with bullets that weigh around 100grs and the sights are very close. I do like fixed sight guns and never turn my nose up at a deal on one.

Mine will be here tomorrow and I'll take a better picture. Model 29-5 44 Mag "Hostiles" from the Twelve Revolvers series. I hope it shoots as well as my "Through the Line" 44 special!
It will shoot as well as any of the "Mare's Leg" offerings that are currently popular. Joe
I wanted one of those soooo bad when they were first released......
I had the weirdest sensation the other day but I was looking in my gun cabinet..... There's nothing that I really want right now.
If anything 2021 will be the year of the revolver for me.
Some form of long-barreled 357 I think, I really enjoy my little 692 with its 2.75, But that thing is super offensive with earplugs in I can only imagine it without.
The other option would be a Ruger GP 100 in 10 mm
