    Got a new toy

    I've been eyeing it for weeks, and my weakness overcame me..... I am the new owner of a Blackhawk in .357. She's used, with some holster wear, but tight, with a really good trigger. Can't wait to shoot it. I believe I got a deal at 4 c notes.

    $400 is a good price. I love the blackhawk.

    I have a super Blackhawk with the 7.5 barrel that's a joy to shoot. I would be tempted to see if I could get a 9mm cylinder for the new possession!

    A Blackhawk for $400 would sell here in a matter of minutes. You did well. However, pics or it didn't happen.

    I've not been well versed in transmitting pictures in the past, but I will see if I can navigate cell to post. I was kinda shocked it was still there! I've been wrestling within myself for several weeks over this particular revolver. Every time I saw it, I'd argue about that or a mini lathe. The revolver won out!

    Ironically, if I remember correctly, I could have gotten it, or one identical to it, for twenty dollars less before the plandemic started!

    $400?? Jeez...my very first NEW handgun was a 4 5/8 BH and it only cost me $82.12 (incl. sales tax) ...in 1967! Everything considered, though, I'd say you got a pretty good deal 'cause, with a little TLC, you could have that BH as long as I've had mine.

    I got my rbh, used, in 1996. Never thought I would like a single action revolver, but when I first held it, I just couldn't pass it up. Mine is chambered for 45 colt, 7-1/2" barrel.

    Nice !
    My first centerfire handgun was a 4 3/4" 357 Blackhawk. Documented 25,000 + rounds through it.(lots 1000+ f/s loads, quite a few at the red line) Forcing cone was pretty much gone, Still was accurate.

    If you're gonna be stupid, don't pull up short. Saddle up and ride it all the way in.
