An oddly specific request

[Van Blamm]

I want to set my desktop background to be a picture of a Ruger Blackhawk, preferably a 4" model. Google, and the rest of the internet, failed to yield results of the kind of resolution I am looking for. If you've got a hi-res photo of a Blackhawk, or if you've got a Blackhawk you could take a hi-res photo of,- you guessed it- I'd like to see it.

It's the perfect opportunity to show off your sixgun (and make a fellow member very happy). Plus, you look like you need something to do.

They don't make a 4" version

A quick search on Bing gave a lot of results, might try them if you have'nt.

David is right. I think you meant the 4.62" models. the ones where the ejector rod housing is the same length as the barrel.

What resolution is your monitor set to?

I think you meant the 4.62" models.

Wow, I would have never thought of describing the 4 5/8" Blackhawk like that.

Just how big do you want these pix?

I just ran a GIS and found several "high res" pix of a 4(odd) incher. . .

Is this not what you're looking for?

I've got a couple (see attachments):

-Ruger Blackhawk .357/9mm convertible, 4-5/8" barrel, blued, 1730x1286px
-Ruger Blackhawk .357/9mm convertible, 6-1/2" barrel, blued, 1023x767px

The quality of the big picture isn't that great, though, because the camera I used wasn't very good. I might have a larger version of the smaller picture at home somewhere (I'm at work now).

A larger and slightly different version of my 6-1/2" Blackhawk:

Big enough for you?

squarles67,

The top revolver, with the light grips, is a beautiful hunk of iron son, beautiful. What wood is in the grips? Thanks

The only 4.625 I have is this one.
It is sized for the www, but if you like it, I can resize the 4646 x 2914 original to match your screen resolution.



or 6.5 and 7.5 barrels

What about this picture? I use it sometimes for my background picture.

 

[Van Blamm]

Wow! I left this alone for a couple days and look at the results! Yes, I did mean the 4 5/8 inch barrel, my mistake.

And thank you all for the contributions!

Thanks.

Sorry, I don't have anywhere to upload the larger images to. If you want to PM me an email address, I will email them to you.

You mean the 117mm version?

 

[Dave T]

Since you specified Ruger, you might like the original version:
