FQ, Need it??? When does need ever enter the picture?

CJS3... can't post what you don't got. Couldn't pick it up until last night. Also picked up 100 rounds of 10X 45 colt to go with it (ouch), good thing my next project is to take up reloading. Here are a couple of pictures.

I picked up a Ruger .45 ACP / .45 Colt Blackhawk Convertible about 14 years ago. They are really nice guns. I would like to eventually get a 9 MM / .357 Blackhawk Convertible to go along with it, but they are hard to come by.  Bill T.

Nice!  Ya got the 'right' barrel length.  For me the 4 5/8 looks and feels more balanced.

BillT-  I know a guy with the 357/9 and the 357 cylinder is great but when he switches to 9mm his accuracy goes in the toilet. That and the fact that I really "needed" a 45 Colt in the collection is what decided me(the 45 acp cylinder was a plus too). Too bad you are down in AZ the Scheel's I got mine from had 2 of the 357/9's(each current barrel length) in the showcase when I placed my order.

Haz- I like the 4 5/8 models but the 5.5 just felt right when I was fondling them in the store. I'm sure the sales staff was greatful I finally ordered something. I made lots of trips to the store to play with the various blackhawks and vaqueros before I picked the one I wanted.

I Like Wolff Springs, I usually swap factory springs out and slip them in.  Never an issue.

Kinda like choosing tires for a car, Pep Boy's sells good tires, but sometimes,,,,.. sometimes,....Some Eagle GT's, or Pirelli's make a big difference.

Balance, reduced felt recoil, and accuracy.  Sounds like the right combination for you.

Congrats!

Sweet. By far the BEST, 45 colt (the 45ACP is nice too) on the market.

Do you mean Ruger is better than other brands because it is built rugged, or do you mean that the BlackHawk is better even than the Vaquero, if so, why ?

Ruger.

New model Vaquero is not as rugged as the old model, but is still better than the competition. I like the old model Vaquero because of the larger Super Blackhawk frame that was used.
