Two New Rugers

[Cherokee Bob]

OK only one is new.  It is a New Model Blackhawk in Blue with the factory Black grips and a 4-5/8" barrel.  She's a 357 Magnum.  I think maybe some wood grips would dress her up nicely.  She should be versatile in that she will shoot 357 Mags or 38 Specials.  I could even do some black powder cartridge loads for fun.

Now in case you were wondering, the second Ruger is a Bisley Vaquero in mint condition.  She sports case hardening and blue finish and a 5.5" barrel.  She's in 44 Magnum.  Also, very versatile in that she shoots 44 Mags and 44 Specials.  I could also load some of the 44 Mags with black powder and she should shoot like a 45LC.

Between the two I can shoot cowboy, hunt hogs or deer and defend my other personal property if need be.

Can't wait until WA state lets me have them.  They should be ready for pick up before the weekend, just in time for the last Saturday of the month cowboy meet.  I think I'll pair them up with an old Stevens 311 side-by-side 12 gauge.

Now if I could find a nice leather rig for them  !!!

I've been shooting BP in my 357 Ruger SS for quite a while and will probably not go back to the "other" powder. WM
