Just wanted to add one more thing- back in the day, people were more willing to put up with something that might have been off. I recall reading an article by the late John Taffin where he had a Colt SAA ( think it was 45) where one of the bolt notches was cut too deep and the chamber was weaker...

I have an excellent condition Ruger Blackhawk old model 357- with chatter marks down the entire length of the bore. I think most companies kicked out rough stuff back in the day as they do now- we just hear more of it now due to reasons mentioned above.

I have read that one can remove the lock and replace the lock with a bearcat hammer strut seat. Had a couple of Rugers with the lock- shot the same as any other Blackhawk. The only trouble with the lock models is finding grips that have the cut out for the lock.

Those grips are cut for the lock. As mentioned, it locks the hammer strut. The flathead screwdriver is to remove the grip screw.

Speaking of Dan Wesson's- there's an absolute mint 375 supermag here that I keep thinking of grabbing. Only thing holding me back is the cost of brass....

If I had the money, I'd look very hard at that DW. I have never seen one in 45 colt. Had a 357 with a pork chop barrel many moons ago and it was a very nice shooting gun. The BFR would have my interest too., especially if it had their bizana grip frame.

They look like it would be a real peach to shoot.

What mounts are you using there? Mine eyes grow weak....

Not sure which.

S&W does or did have this on their frames. Can't recall which. Just a piece of steel. Found a pic here

super redhawk

Looks great! Interested in seeing how it shoots for you.

Would love to try a free pistol one day. That looks to be a great price on one.

Ruger's Bisley grip is too small for my hands (xxl glove)- a bit cramped. I've held, but not shot a BFR with their version of a bisley grip and it felt great.

You’re welcome :)

Ray, I asked about this and the answer is no, we never had CH make does for us. The seller probably just used the box.

Yes we do in our manufacturing plant in Middletown CT.
