I have a stainless Ruger single-six with a 5 1/2" barrel that I purchased in 1999. It has always felt heavier to me than other single-six's that I have handled, but I never gave it much thought. Just now, on a whim, I got out a magnet and was surprised to find that both the grip frame and ejector housing are STEEL!
I was under the impression that most Blackhawks (except the 50th Anniversary models) and all single-six's had an aluminum grip frame and ejector housing.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?
Thanks!
