    I also have a ruger Blackhawk 4-5/8", it's the convertible model. It came with a 45 acp cylinder.
    Two years ago I was looking for the same exact combo as the o/p. I know it's not double action but I have gotten over it. It is a very versatile gun. And accurate to. It digests heavy roger only loads with ease. I did install some trigger goodies I ordered from brown elks, very inexpensive. It's way better now.

    The short barreled Redhawk would be the way to go.

    Years ago, I had a Ruger DA that was misfiring. Took it to a gunsmith I knew, and he added a bit of thickness to the to the transfer bar. It worked fine after that. Ruger has changed the shape of the transfer bar since then.

    I had called Ruger about the problem and was told that reloads may have that problem. All factory ammo did work OK.
