Good read MT
Wish I had a original Colt,but I still love my Ruger
Blackhawk in .357 with my gunslinger holster
Coupla trespassers on my farm took off running a few
yrs ago when I came up on and they saw that big iron
We laughed about that for a while
Yeah, they’re nice. I like the same in .45 Colt...slightly hot rodded for the Rockies here, of course (visibility for miles and miles, frequent high winds, etc.).
The Colts were an excellent gun for the time of design. Rugers are a much better design that was able to take advantage of modern materials and fabrication methods.
I got a Blackhawk in .30M1 a few years ago, really fun and cheap to shoot.
