Just picked this one up yesterday from Kings6 (thanks Robb!): 10.5" Ruger .357 Maximum. Going to load up some Hornady 180's over H4227 and Rem 7 1/2 primers for a silhouette match the first Sunday of next month. Should be fun  In the meantime, I have to re-read Bradshaw's posts on shooting techniques and make it to the range a few times to determine some sight settings.  |

Nice!
Those things can sneak up on you & become addictive. BTW,,, I noticed it's wearing OM grips.

It came to me that way, and it's OK as they'll be replaced with Pachmayr grips for competition and, eventually, with custom grips that fill in behind the trigger guard. Most likely a pair of fancy walnut Herret's like the ones John Taffin has in his books.
This is my third .357 Max, but my first 10.5", and I really like the balance with the longer barrel.

Great looking gun!!!!
If the grips fit a SBH grip frame, I would be interested in buying them when you sell.
If you need Pachy's for a SBH, I have a pair you can have.

oregon45.... trust your Maximum is top drawer. These revolvers vary. Some are dead nuts shooters. Other examples suffer chamber-to-bore alignment or overly deep forcing cone issues. Add on oversize groove diameter here and there and we have an accuracy problem.
A cream Ruger Blackhawk .357 Maximum screams accuracy and delivers .38 Special and .357 Magnum downrange square business. Not to mention the stepup .357 Maximum.
