Shot mine today, as I do almost every day. Without a doubt the best out of the box Ruger I've owned.

Mine is unfired due to “scheduling conflicts” but in spite of that it will be soon wearing Dall ram grips and a Bowen rear sight. That will make it damn near perfect and besides all that, it will be so pretty.

Recently received my Turnbull Ruger after being sufficiently enabled by many of the photos here. Fit and finish is better than any recent Ruger I've handled. Really a nice sixgun, heck even the original grips fit very well.    I have changed the factory grips out with some bonded ivories I had in the parts bin. I like the look.   Very happy with this sixgun. B |

Nice gun. Sure would like to see that in a 4 5/8 barrel.

Nice gun. Sure would like to see that in a 4 5/8 barrel. I'm partial to the 4 5/8's as well. I'd probably buy one of those too, if they were to build one. Ruger has been killing my gun budget lately. Good problem I guess. B |

Got another one of these and found out that both were a little tight on the throats not allowing Keith bullets to seat all the way along with some of my LBT's. Got the cylinder out to be honed out to .4525"
Chambers were good except for the latest one that I received, noticing that the "S" that they mark on the back of the cylinder was stamped too close to the chamber causing them to roll the steel on the edge quite a bit, not allowing the bullet to seat in this camber not even half way. Fixed that with fine half round needle file and dowel rod and emery cloth. Ruger, for a short time had the throats pretty close to right at .452"on their 45's, but good things don't last. At least being too tight is fixable, rather than too loose. Still Project guns. They are tighter guns than those of the past though, but they still need to get their crap together.

When I first saw one near the end of November, I thought they were nice but maybe I didn't really need one. Then the more I thought about it they were a real bargain. The non fluted cylinder and Turnbull CCH was only ~$350 over the price of a new standard Blackhawk Bisley. It would cost easily at least 3 times that to send one in for the custom cylinder and Turnbull CCH. So it made total sense. Yet I still haven't bought one.
March 11th I bought two, a sequentialy numbered pair in fact. :-D
I couldn't take it anymore, and if one was a bargain, two is a steal right? :-) They are truly beautiful and well put together. Definitley among the top three of firearms I've ever purchased. There's is truly nothing that compares to a gorgeous single action revolver, except maybe a Marlin Lever gun. Have to agree with Ranger999 even the grips are well fit, finished, and beautiful. I've not yet had a chance to shoot them or even clean them up. Going to remedy that this week, make up an assortment of loads, and take them out to the range next weekend. Up until I've only owned a plow handle Old Vaquero and Dragoon framed Blackhawk. I've not ever shot a Bisley gripped gun before. They seem to fit my hands well, I hope I like Bisley grip. My other Vaquero and Blackhawk may never come out of the safe again.
I'll post of pictures this week after I've cleaned them up.
