Single Action....?

I have three SAs -- a second generation Colt in .357 and two Ruger Blackhawks in .45 Colt. They are great woods guns and I carry them frequently (althought the Colt is getting too valuable to subject it to a lot of abuse.) For hunting, dealing with varmits, or just playing around, the SA is hard to beat.
 
When I get out and about in the woods, I carry my 4-5/8" Super Blackhawk.

Incidentally, the only documented case of a man successfully killing an Alaska grizzly in self defense with a handgun occurred last fall. A Fairbanks moose hunter and his partner were attacked by Mr. Bear. One shot from a 7- 1/2" .44 Super Blackhawk dropped the bear. The hunter put 3 more rounds in the bear when his partner stopped him because all the ammo they had left to get out of the woods was in the gun.

(This is the only documented case. Indubitably, others have been succesful in the same scenario, and decided not to put up with the hassle of reporting the incident.)
 
Tall Pine, Look at El Paso Saddlery, They will make almost any of their products to fit the SA.

Yes, but at what cost? I said "readily available" as in I can walk into a gun store and buy it off the shelf.

And I did look at their websites a while back and did not see what I was looking for.
