So I’m looking at buying this ruger sbh from my LGS it’s pricced at 500cnd it’s git some pitting on the Barrel and cylinder was wondering if it’s overpriced for its condition

257630

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

I would pass on it and keep looking

I don't know what they run in Canada. It would be 50-100 high in that condition round here. It has a blackhawk hammer however.

The Ruger site lists the SBH MFG price at $669.00 dollars. I don't know what that translates to in Canadian but it means a SBH should start around $550.00 to $600.00 in new condition in American dollars.
A used one in very good or better should run around 20 to 30% less than the new price. At least that about how it works in my location. Maybe someone can chime in with a Blue Book value which would be more accurate.

Thats what? $380.00 US doesn't seem that bad to me.

That’s about what a shooter grade Blackhawk goes for around here and they sell fairly quick. Bazoo is right about that hammer so be sure to check the action closely.

It's a converted 3-screw. If that's OK with you, it's a fair price.

I'd rather have a new model or a converted 3 screw. I like the safety of the transfer bar system, not to mention keeping it loaded with 6.

The picture is not easy to study. BUT,,,,,,, it is definitely a 3 screw,, Old Model. And,, it MAY be a Flattop version. Hard to tell from the upside down picture & angle. If the serial number is 29860 or less,, it'd have the correct hammer for a FT OM. Again,,, the OM Supers also had identical serial numbers,, so look at the mainframe,, and if it says "Blackhawk" and not Super Blackhawk,, it's a true FT. If the main frame says; Super Blackhawk" then the hammer isn't correct & likely a converted one.
So,, if it's a true, unmolested OM FT 44,, then it can easily be worth the money asked.

Look at the main frame,, look at the action for a safety transfer bar,, and then make the decision.

Square back trigger guard, unfluted cylinder and rear sight ribs---it's a Super.

It's a Frankin SBH,parts gun. Just SBH not Flat top which is a Blackhawk not SBH. I would hold out for something better. I only own 3screw models but would rather have a good new model than a gun someone has played with. I can't tell much on condition from picture.

Good eye bisleyfan. I was trying to see the topstrap & the upside down picture had me NOT paying attention to other details.
