Just took receipt of this one from TN. Bowen Longhunter with 5 1/2" S&W barrel in .45 Colt.

This 5 shot was built on a mid frame flat top .44sp donor gun. IMO these mid sized Blackhawks guns are the perfect platform for all but the most specialized of builds. Gun features full length ejector rod housing and crescent head rod, nitre blue all around, fluted and chamfered cylinder recessed for case heads and last but certainly not least bighorn sheep grips from Rob Rowan. Can't say enough good about the revolver or the grip work. Nice touches are the fire blue plug in the end of the ERH, and the slotted pins, details that are easy to overlook. It comes in at just shy of 3 lbs. and is capable of handling Ruger only loads.

I keep learning....I asked Hamilton for one of his deluxe action jobs on this build which (in my words) basically adds an internal trigger stop to the action. I don't know why in the world with all the time and $$ I've spent on builds like this I've never added this option. I STRONGLY endorse it. My best quality guns have this feature and that's how I realized it's merits.

I'll enjoy this one and hope you will too!

Extremely nice gun. It's always difficult for me to decide which options to get.

Have learned that not all of the same upgrades help all shooters equally.

Regardless of that, this gun is a show stopper!!!

CONGRATULATIONS..

Love that S&W barrel & the nitre blued pins, etc. And the stocks aren't too shabby either!! Dick

I DO like the medium frame size though. This one was a beast!

Gorgeous! Funny you mention the deluxe action tune. I have one that should be here pretty soon and it's also the first one I ordered with that upgrade. Mine's going to look exactly like yours with the exception of grips and ejector rod length.
