Were any of the .44 special bisleys made with carbon steel hammers?
Anybody know the date when the large frame guns stopped being made with the steel spurs?
I'm hating trying to find a base gun.....
Was bad enough trying to find serial number placement but now one needs to find a carbon steel hammer too for some treatments.

Really wish Ruger hadn't made that change. A stainless hammer looks stupid on a blued single action. I'm replacing mine with a Power Custom half cock kit.

Kinda hard to see the blue versus bare steel but the top of the hammer is blued.  Serial number is 520-229XX. Bought it new but don't recall the date, 2012 maybe. Tim |

Tim, that's a pretty plain gun for your collection.

Tim, that's a pretty plain gun for your collection. But it probably had the best out of the box trigger of any stock Ruger I had handled. Not so stock now, worked it over during one of Hamilton's gunsmith classes. Tim |

Mine had a stainless hammer when I sent it back for repairs, it returned with blue hammer and trigger. This was in Jan/Feb 2016.
