Blackhawks

[Smee78]

I really cant believe Ruger has not come out with a 10mm/40S&W Blackhawk set for the regular market (SS 4 5/8 or 5 1/2 barrel for me). I know they had a Ruger 40 Vaquero (I saw one once) but you think a regular production gun in the two cals with adj sights would be a great seller.

Three calibers.  MIght as well include a cylinder for 38-40 on that gun too.  Lipsey's will order custom runs from time to time.  I wonder how many three-way convertibles of 38-40/10mm/40S&W they could sell.

That's a great idea!  How about a 4-way convertible adding 10mm Magnum to what you listed above?  I think it would also be awesome if they offered a 7.5" - 8.375" barrel option too.  For that, I'm quite sure you could count me in!

10mm Mag would be a HOT one.  Hmmmmmm....  Maybe I'll fit another cylinder.  I load 38-40 up to about .44 Mag power, and the gun handles it fine (it should, same frame as the .44 SBH).  DON'T try this in a Colt or replica!!  (unless you really enjoy scrounging around for small bits of metal and body parts)

I am more in the perfect packin' pistol camp with John Taffin of American Handgunner.  The smaller blackhawk frame that they are putting 357/44 special/45 colt in that is the same size as the SAA.

But I can see adding both sizes to my collection

Man finding a buckeye would be sweet.  still i would like to see ruger or smith put out a good DA 5 inch revolver.  i know there have been some conversions with the ruger gp100 to 10mm but dam by the time you buy the gun and get the conversion done you have over 1000 in the gun.  That is if they are still doing the conversions.

still you think lipseys would see a profit in getting ruger to do a limited run.

hmmm   maybe we should try to petition them.

found that buckeye no turn ring on either cylinder.  Well at least until i got it.  Heck its a 10 mm had to be shot.  All i can say is i am one happy camper.  These are sweet!!!  i was thinking about getting the other cylinder set up for the 40 sw but hearing how the 38-40 perfoms i think i will try those loads first.  this buckeye is going to stay in my rotation.

Ive recently trade for a Ruger Blackhawk buckeye chambered in the 10mm/38-40 conversion.The gun looks brand new,no powder marks at all,mint looking still in the original black and yellow box. Was kinda wondering the value. Looked at some for pricing!
