Newest addition to the Ruger family

[gman]

I've had a hankering for one of these for awhile now. Overall it's one of the better finished Rugers I've picked up lately. Cylinder throats all except a .431 pin gauge and a .432 is a no go. Just pushing a tight patch I cannot feel any thread choke but there may be a very small amount as it looks like the front sight is clocked a little to the left. Trigger feels very clean when pulled. I might add the muzzle crown looks very nice. Proofs in the shooting so hopefully I can take her for a spin very soon. Super Blackhawk 44 mag 10.5" bbl.

Nice, my kind of shootin iron. Looking forward to a range report.

 

[Intheshop]

Stainless and medium toned wood is hard to beat on eye candy.

Is this aimed at the hunting fields?Looks like serious Deer medicine.Hoping you a great range workout!BW

Nice looking 10 incher ! Used to see lots of those wacking over the steel rams. Very good to read yours has throats the same.

 

[Winelover]

Only thing lacking is a sling.

I purchased one of those several years ago and really like it. Size just about any* CB to .431" over a charge of 7.5gr. - 8.5gr. Unique and it is superbly accurate...even with open sights. Mine needed a trigger job, but yours may be better. Good luck with it!


*Ly. #429360 is a notable exception, but it wasn't designed with modern .44cal. dimensions in mind.

It can use a little trigger work but it's better out of the box than most of my other Rugers. Good, bad or ugly I'll show the results.

 

[Ian]

A Wolf trigger spring and five minutes with an India stone and 1K-grit emery paper will fix the trigger.

 

[gman]

Have the trigger return spring. Ordered a bunch of them for future tunes. Always prepared for future additions to the ever growing family!

Thread drift just for Ian. Checked with my ffl on the CCH Henry 45-70 when picking up the SBH. Non of his distributors had any in stock. Still on my radar.

Nice revolver.

I have had a hankering for the 10" for a while...just have not found one at my price, yet.

It is sure to be a shooter with most anything you push through it. Even with the not so great triggers...they are still mighty accurate.

 

[KHornet]

Have an early one, w/7 1/2" bbl. Don't shoot it much, but when I do it is
mostly with Special loads. A very accurate revolver, and trigger on mine is
excellent just as it came from the factory.
