Ok. I've looked and not really found the answers yet. Of course - may need to work on the search skills too.
First question is mostly curiosity. Does anyeone know what the differences (other than cosmetic) are between the '50th Anniversery New Model Blackhawk' and a 'New Model Blackhawk'? The Ruger catalog lists the 50th Anniversery model with it's 4 5/8" barrel as weighing 5oz more than the .357, 4 5/8" Blackhawk.
Second question - if I were to pick up a New Model Blackhawk in .45 Colt, would it be possible to add a .45 ACP cylinder later on, or do you need to buy the convertable to start with?
Thanks.
