Favourite Ruger wheelgun?

[Bula]

"Ugly Pig"

I love my 4 5/8" SS SuperBlackhawk. I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I'm also warmimg up, a lot, to my recently acquired 4" SS GP100.

 

[Wasz]

I love my 4" GP100 stainless full under lug. Fixed sites, and a pretty good trigger. Im to the point that Im just used to it now. Shooting my brothers S&W just doesnt feel right. The GP just feels like home now.

I used to love the Uberti 1858 Remington shooting .45LC's then I got this....

You only need to drop the hammer once on this with a Magnum round to have a new appreciation for a wheel gun.

I have had a few Rugers, But it would be a toss up between an SP101 and an OM Blackhwawk in 357.

 

[GaryP]

I like'm all, but if I have to pick a favorite it would be the SP101 series.

 

[ZooFuzz]

Hard to say. Blackhawk in any caliber, SP101 357, Security Six 4" heavy, or Redhawk (older model) 357, 41, or 44. I'm a big Ruger fan. My fav is prob my Blackhawk in 357 Max.

 

[Old John]

Hmmmm.......Well-ll-ll.......

My Purdiest is my OM Stainless Vaquero .45Colt, 3 1/2 brrl. w/ birdhead grip.

My favorite Carry is my Stainless Ruger SP101 2.25", .357 Mag.
But.....I love my Stainless Ruger GP100, 3", .357 Mag.
It's a great Carry gun too.
Can't beat a Ruger. AISI.
Have Fun!

I think this one is Pretty!

I own a bunch of older colts and smiths, but this ruger is among my "prettiest" weapons.
Something about that birdshead grip in white micarta and the short sheriff's barrel with the big ol' .45 lc hole in the end, all on that chunky old-style vaquero frame, it ALMOST makes me blush.

JMB- Who did the work on that gorgeous gun of yours? Looks like my dream gun that I've tumbled in my mind for years.

 

[ranger53]

Since I only have on e right now, soon to be followed by a BH in 357 mag. is my BH in 45 colt with a 7.5" barrel. I really love this one!

[Ben Shepherd]

Blued 7.5" 41 redhawk.

 

[DouglasW]

I compliment your choices, Revolverman

Hey look, twins

Nice choice of IWB holster, too. (yeah, I'm a lefty)

 

[revolverman357]

Thanks DouglasW, the AKJ AIWB is a very comfortable holster, I forget it is there sometimes

 

[AK Sapper]

I'd sell everything but this one.

4" Security Six, blued, Pachmayers

 

[McCall911]

Ruger Blackhawk!
Any model of .41 Mag and above in caliber, but I'm more partial to the old model. (Smoother action.)

But I quit holding my breath some time back for a Ruger single action in .454 Casull.

 

[Jaybo]

How to decide?

The .44 Redhawk?
The .454 Super Redhawk?
The 3" fixed sight GP-100?
The .38 Speed Six? (Okay, that's the gf's revolver, but I stll like it)

 

[MCgunner]

My Fav...

 

[Cosmoline]

Who did that one? Is that a Reeder or Bowen?

 

[Boxhead]

"Not as pretty as a Colt nor as refined as a Smith they have a special appeal all their own."

Not sure that I would agree with that. I think my Ruger 44 Special's are both pretty and quite refined.

 

[Blacklabman]

This is easy.
The .44mag Super Blackhawk

 

[Legionnaire]

Toss up.

 

[22-rimfire]

My favorite is my 3" GP100. Don't really have all that many Rugers. Still have not shot my new 41 mag Redhawk. I hope they make the Alaskan in 41 mag.

 

[Shell Shucker]

This is a hard call! (Numbers are NOT in order of preference; each one excels in it's own niche).

1. Double action tack driver: 6" GP-100 .357
2. Big bore boomer: Bisley 7.5" .45 Colt
3. ***: Old Army .45 Black Powder. This thing is amazing! I'm not into black powder and prior to shooting a friend's Old Army I would have never considered owning a cap and ball revolver. The two I've shot are accurate beyond belief! And the smoke..........
