N,M. blackhawk range report

[Buzzard45]

I took my ruger wheel gun to the range this morning, sent about 150 rounds thru it,mostly reloads and 25 buffalo bore +P 38 sp. Just thought ya might like to see a sample. I do have to remember to bring a screw driver next time, i had to adjust down a bit to achieve this, aimed at the bottom of 7 circle.

Nice Blackhawk - your grips look better than the ones on my old 1968 BH.

You gonna get a slick western rig for it to ride in?

grips are smooth as glass,slippery when wet. A real challenge to hold onto w` magnums. Sorry, ain`t no money left after the ruger, cossbow,cw45,pm45,and p45. Do i detect a pattern here?

[Bawanna]

Slippery is not a bad thing. Just let it roll. That's the way it was designed.

I checkered a few sets of those and they bite ya pretty good with warm loads.

[Buzzard45]

Yea, colonel, i agree checkering would be too much even for my crusty construction worker hands. I was thinking maybe a light sanding with very fine 600 grit or finer, just to give it a tiny bit more grip. I could buff it back to shiny smooth again if i don`t like it,eh?

A coat of paste or bee's wax might help with the grip.

And yeah, bring a screw driver next time to get those shots into the X ring!

doncha think it`s high time she got some exercise?
Looks just like harry`s, plinking away in the back yard with light loads, convinced me i wanted one. just had a hard time choosing between 38/357 and 45acp/45colt. and yea, i`ll shoot it a lot more before i dare to mess with those grips.

Nice Blackhawks gents:)
In regards to checkered grips, I actually like the ones that came on my New Vaquero (.45 Colt).

A coat of paste or bee's wax might help with the grip.

I get a chubby every time I see those. I dig stag. I like Birdshead handles a lot too. Those would sure provide a nice grip. Can still roll but not slippery.

What is it about single actions that makes the juices flow? Damn those guns look nice.

Mine rides in this San Antonio Leatherworks rig I bought for it in 1968:
