Buzz inspired me to become an urban cowboy like him. After seeing his 44 magnum single action, I bought a Wiley Clapp Ruger Blackhawk convertible in 45 ACP and 45 LC. Just picked it up.

That's pretty cool. I've had birds head Ruger and Uberti .45 Colts...wish I had kept one. Will have to get another. They are the perfect gun for having on your side at the deer lease.

Has Ruger just given up on putting a nice finish on their gun's.? It seems that a lot of their new gun's come with matte finishes. While some may like them that way,to me a revolver should always be stainless steel,high polished blued,or case colored.

It's a blend of some modern with slab sided barrel, unfluted cylinder, big dot site and matte black finish.

Thanks, I wanted a single action as a kid. I can't believe it took me this long to buy one. I certainly have plenty of other handguns.

I was shocked when I read how powerful the 45 LC is with +P ammo. The bird head grip will probably challenging if I try them.

If you reload for 45 Colt you will find it and a New Model Blackhawk can pretty much handle anything North America can throw at you. Congrats on your revolver. That thing will last several lifetimes.

I Shoot 45 Colt exclusively in revolvers for this reason. It can be loaded cheap and mild for fun, or pushed all the way to bear loads in the Ruger.

That is sa-weet! Congrat's on a fine revolver. I shot a friends Blackhawk chambered in 45LC. What a nice round.
