I had an older Ruger Blackhawk 45LC that had a beefy frame and cylinder that could handle heavy loads. I recently moved and during the move my Ruger went missing (stolen). I have been looking to replace my old Blackhawk. The new Ruger 45LC guns seem to be lightened to the point I am not confident in their ability to stay in one piece. The cylinder walls separating the chambers are very thin indeed. The back strap is also lighter as is the frame in general. I sent a couple messages to Ruger but have not gotten a reply. My question is does Ruger make a 45LC gun built to the old models standard? I found the Super Blackhawk but it is only available in 44 Magnum. The Blackhawk 45LC/45ACP Convertible looks to have a heftier cylinder but I am suspicious. Help me out.
