 I was fortunate to get me a doe with my Ruger SBH Tuesday night. I’ve had this ol gun since 1984 or 85, my folks bought it for me out of a pawnshop when I was a sophomore or junior in high school. It is one of the made in the 200th year of American Liberty guns. Shot it a lot but never really got the single action bug till I joined up here, listening and talking to you guys. So, I sent it to David Clements and had him do an action job, new sights, cut the barrel down to 5.5” and re-blue it. This will be the last of my guns that I’ll ever let go of. Thank ya’ll for all the info/help. |

I’ve been carrying it for two years and this is the first time I’ve gotten to use it.
I’ve taken a few deer and a hog or two with a couple of other pistols, and even lucked into a good deal on a FA 83, but to have taken this doe with this pistol, it’s pretty special to me.

postimg.cc/gallery/cwJ1sGpMaybe the pics of my pistol will work, I haven’t figured out how to post pics directly or make them larger. I asked David to check the throats, fix end shake, Belt Mountain base pin, shorten from 7.5” to 5.5”, he installed a steel ERH, action job and do a different front sight. When I got it back I added the Bowen RoughCountry rear. Years ago when I first got the gun it was having extraction issues so I sent it back to Ruger and they honed the cylinders and if I’m thinking right put on a new blued hammer. Like you guys said, it’s exciting and addicting to get one with a pistol, I didn’t even get out my rifle this year, it was either the pistol or nothing.
