My dad called me today and said he found one that is in like new condition, he questions whether or not it has been fired for $370. He thought it was a 7 1/2" barrel. I know little about the various versions of Blackhawks other then people get excited about the 3 screw. Where are the Ruger nuts? SHOW YOURSELVES!!

Thanks guys.

I had one. It is a pure hoot to shoot. If it's in good shape, that's a very fair price. It also makes a pretty fair close in varmint shooter. It's loud and it's fun.

Buy it! You will never look back!

Don put it the best; "It is a pure hoot to shoot."

I got mine back in 1983 used for $145.

It's Magna-Ported and shooting this puppy at night is like a Pink Floyd concert! The noise, cylinder/forcing cone, Magna-Port and muzzle flash is real graphic!

With the 7 1/2" barrel it is deadly accurate. I got a western rig while in Monterrey Mexico for about $22US.

I love the looks of the wood stocks but if I'm going to shoot any volume I will put on the Pachmayrs.

When it comes to auto loaders, give me Colt!

If it's wheel guns, I'll take Rugers! (Well maybe a Python or Anaconda too, you know me and snakes!)

That is a heck of a price if it is in good shape. As said before they are a blast to shoot and will be enjoyed for a long time,had mine for nearly 33 years. Just consider the new ones are $ 541.00 and don't come with the wood grips. Buy it your dad won't be unhappy.

Already told my dad to buy it. We might split it....we'll see. I NEED AMMO!! Stupid new calibers....

**spittinfire** · 11-16-2009, 01:41 AM

Alright, I'm going tomorrow and if it's still there I'm going to buy it. Where do you guys get ammo? Brass? Bullets? I'm good on primers.

I get my 30 Carbine ammo from Georgia Arms. I don't know how it will do in a Ruger revolver, but my M1 Carbine likes the stuff. The last 500 round can I got was $200,,,,,,, if I remember correctly.

Do not shoot Wolf!!!

My Blackhawk Does Not like steel case! (Or maybe it just doesn't like Russia!)

Georgia Arms - .30 CARBINE

The price has gone up some Flint Rock.

I have saved the shipping by placing an order and having it delivered to the Ft. Lauderdale Gun Show.

Check the show schedule and see if they attend one near you.

I have used Georgia Arms ammo for years and have good luck with all calibers. They are my source for the 460 Rowland.

Hey spit, the Nov/Dec 09 American Handgunner has an article titled ".30 Carbine Combo Guns" pg. 56 which includes the Ruger Blackhawk.

A good read and has a section on reloading.

Check your local news stand and pick up a copy.
