This is my oldest Ruger, a Flat Top Blackhawk three screw that I bought in Paso Robles, California in 1958. The gun has had about 17,000 rounds fired through it.
I had it fitted with a steel Old Army grip frame, case colored by Doug Turnbull, and mesquite grips by Cary Chapman (CaryC), and a steel ejector rod housing.
I was a soldier stationed at Camp Roberts when I bought the gun.
