You have heard the old saying about never buying a car that was built on Monday due to workers having a hangover and never on Friday because the workers are in a hurry to finish and go home for the weekend.
A while back I bought a new Ruger Blackhawk in .41 magnum with a 4-5/8 inch barrel. That gun must have been built on a Wednesday at the Ruger factory when the employees were feeling their best. I tested it with some handloads using XTP jacketed bullets and it proved to be very accurate. I ordered a mold from Accurate Molds that cast a 220 grain semi wadcutter Keith style.
I decided to check the cylinder throats and barrel groove dia. to see if I needed to send it off to DougGuy for opening the throats if they were too tight or out of round. I used soft lead fishing sinkers to slug the throats and found 2 throats at .411 and four throats at .4115 and I did four checks on each slug and they were perfect all away around the slug.
The barrel miked at .409 and no tight spots at the frame-barrel junction. That was not all. The trigger on this revolver was very light from the factory with no creep and smooth as glass. Pulled my trigger gage out and tested the trigger pull 5 times. All five times it broke at a consistant one pound and 8 ounces.
Makes you wish that they would build all the guns like this.
