So I ordered a NIB Blackhawk Bisley Acusport (.45 Colt), and once it was shipped (Friday of last week) the seller informed me that he also has a NIB pair with consecutive serial numbers. I told him that I wanted the pair and my local gun shop owner decided that he wanted the one that I ordered so everyone's happy. Anyway, the first one arrived today and I was able to spend some time with it this afternoon. It's a beautiful revolver that's for sure.
Now to my question. What's the logic (reason) behind the Ruger Blackhawk "feature" that the cylinder chambers don't line up with the ejector rod when the cylinder is rotated counter-clockwise back against the stop. The chambers on my USFA Rodeos index (align) perfectly with the ejector rod when the cylinder is rotated back against the stop. The gun shop owner has a Ruger Vaquero with a kit installed that "fixes" this issue but I was curious as to what Ruger's reasoning behind the design was. Do you consider it to be a flaw or a feature?
Thanks.
