I saw the one listed on the Ruger Forum the other day,, and sweated & let it go. Then,, 2 more popped up this evening,, and as I read where cmh got one,, I knew I'd lose more sleep if I didn't add one to my stable. So,, I posted an "I'll take it" for the second one. Geez,,, this stuff can give us many sleepless nights! Aww heck,,, taking a line from Sam Elliott,,,, "I'll get plenty of sleep when I'm dead!"

My LGS confirmed that mine was on the way yesterday.
Will likely become a Clements project gun, but I'll decide that after it arrives.

My LGS just called me, got surprised because he wasn't sure if it was coming or not, but it arrived today! I'll be picking it up Sunday since I'm leaving for the property tonight for archery tomorrow.
Can't wait to get my hands on my first 45 caliber revolver!
Now I just need to find a silver Leupold 2x or variable powered one to put on top of it and all the associated reloading supplies.

Mine arrived as well. As said earlier, it'll be a project gun.
Clements does such fine work refitting these guns that it just makes sense.

Lol, my LGS just left me a voicemail saying mine is in. I’ll pick it up in the morning.

We are all so funny. We all spend hundreds of dollars then send the guns off to get hundreds of dollars more done just to tweak them to our own personal tastes. Trust me, I’m probably the worse offender so I know it’s the pot calling the kettle black. Bill Ruger is probably swearing at all of us non stop!

The custom bug has not hit me yet and a gunsmith as not touched a single one of my revolvers!

Now I just need to find a silver Leupold 2x or variable powered one to put on top of it and all the associated reloading supplies. The 2X Weaver is a perfect scope for these guns. I had one, used the combo on a Kodiak Island Blacktail hunt, shot 3 bucks. I then got my hands on a 4X leupold (same dimensions) sold the 2X Weaver. Wish I'd kept it. I've now got the 4X on the FA 454 and will probably buy another Weaver for the Hunter.

Customs or customized revolvers are like crack cocaine. One hit and you're hooked for life.

I'll have to look for one of those as well. Also great buck, absolutely beautiful!

Just wish they would make a factory 45 Super Blackhawk so that I can stop converting all of mine. Probably wouldn't leave it well enough alone anywho.
