Here’s a gun I’ve had for a while but am recently really liking:
My Ruger Blackhawk .45 convertible model. I love this gun and it’s very accurate. Yet I’m not terribly keen on the New Model action. I plan to install a Power Customs half cock hammer kit soon so the gun loads like a proper single action, i.e. has a half cock and the chambers line up correctly with the ejection chute.
What I enjoy most is this gun can safely fire top end magnum level bear loads on down to the cheapest bulk pack .45 ACP for plinking and training. It can even be quickly topped up using a .45 ACP magazine to thumb cartridges into the chambers. Very versatile and the 5.5” barrel length looks great and handles nicely, and is right at home in a country western style crossdraw for in the woods or out in the desert.
