I put this in the "What have you bought that's gun related" thread...then I figured it needed to be in the Wheelguns area too
I have GOT to quit going into Ed's. It's IN-conveniently located directly on my route down to SC.
I was contemplating an SAA in 45 LC. The only single action revolver I have (need to get some pics of that) is a black powder .36 cal percussion cap-and-ball Colt Navy Model 1861 (unfortunately, non-matching serials) that my great-grandfather carried in Texas. It's pretty worn and pitted, and I don't shoot it. But I just all of a sudden got the SAA bug (must be these mosquitoes from the hurricanes carrying something). Then I saw this in Ed's... Ruger New Model Blackhawk, 6.5" barrel, wooden grips, with two cylinders in 357 magnum and 9mm...for $420.
So...I skinned that smokewagon.
Bonus: it was Ruger day, and the rep hollered at Ed for selling it so cheap. Then gave me a hat and a silicone cloth.
So, it's not a 45, but it's cheaper to shoot, and my wife and I already have 38/357 wheelguns...I like it.
