Pablo Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Looks good, Pablo. Here's some trivia for you: What gun was Bill Ruger trying to emulate when he introduced the Blackhawk in 1955. The Colt SA, no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-MAN Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 The Vaquero was Ruger's first real "clone" of the Colt SAA.The Blackhawk was patterned after Elmer Keith's No. 5. And a new Blackhawk with a Bisley grip frame is very close indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamuMahubah Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Wondering if that Bisley grip is an improvement, what? Carry on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmer preferred it for taming the recoil of his 44 Special loads that were as hot as modern 44 Magnum loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Not even sure I could fire that beast at the indoor range. Nice price I guess!. Magnum Research 45-70 BFR 10" all kinds of extras, $750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnum Research 45-70 BFR 10" all kinds of extras, $750 Hard to believe the 1847 Colt Walker, when loaded to full capacity, was roughly the equivalent of a 45-70 revolver.
