I'd rather Satan steal this cowboy's hat than do that to a three screw Ruger!how to be safe with a three screw ruger: send it in for the free transfer bar upgrade.
And sacrifice that sweet trigger on the Old Models? No thanks. If you can't do it with 5 shots in a single action, another round probably won't make a difference.
For those of you who poo-poo the New Model revolvers and their “inferior” triggers, have you ever felt/used one that has been properly tuned by a competent ‘smith? Some of the best triggers I have ever experienced have been on transfer-bar revolvers. Keep in mind, nearly all high-end customs from the top builders are on New Model revolvers.
I don't know about worth more or less. All I know is that a firearm in original condition is generally more desirable than one modified, even when factory modified.
I have one 3-screw, a 41 Mag. It's not converted, and it won't be as long as I'm the owner.
I can't speak for the next owner, as it's not my business what's done to property that doesn't belong to me.
And ruin the trigger pull for free. At least you get the old parts back so you can make it original again.how to be safe with a three screw ruger: send it in for the free transfer bar upgrade.
It's not so much that the Old Model triggers are superior to the New, it's that the trigger on a converted three screw sucks in comparison to what it was.I wouldn’t convert it either, I just don’t like the characterization that the transfer bar guns are somewhat lesser revolvers to the old models.
It is possible to set the firing pin down between the rims of two cartridges.
I can do this with my Uberti's in 45 Colt.

I’ve been shooting single action revolvers for many years.
Load one, skip one, load four, full cock, lower hammer is something I learned a long time ago.

I have a question about your new novel. What year is it set in?
I was asking what year is your new book set in.Now there's a tale in itself! How, did I get a five inch three screw super blackhawk? I was less than enamored with a certain .22 rifle 15 years ago. I took it to a local gun show and traded it straight up for a boogered up .44 Magnum. Someone had chopped the long barrel to five inches and soldered back on the sight canted. With the rear sight adjusted all the way to the left (I think I recall) it would shoot to point of aim, but that was horrible. Friend Jim Watson suggested I drive it down to Gallagher in Jasper, Alabama and see what he could do. Two weeks and $110 dollars later I had the joy of a superb revolver with a new crown, reattached and centered front sight, and a new bluing job. Best I could research, this long gripped three screw handgun was manufactured in 1963. I might be buried with this one.

Oh, my bad... slow down, Danny Boy.I was asking what year is your new book set in.
OK. Was trying to see how a Ruger Blackhawk, or 44 magnum would fit in. Just looked it up, should be an interesting read.Oh, my bad... slow down, Danny Boy.
Yes, my Spared Territory Series (the Slingshot 8 books) are set in a time period seventy years after the world is depopulated (except for my several thousand subjects) by biowar. More succinctly, 70 to 85 years from NOW.
