Finally after many years of wanting, I bought a 357 Maximum Blackhawk! Saw it on gunbroker and put in my bid. Sweated for a day that someone would hit the buy now. Then a fella at work bought an extra AR I had, so, even though my bid was winning, I hit the buy now! The price is still lower than any other I have seen in this condition. And just so happens Ronnie told me today my special grip frame is on the way. I'd intended it for a 41mag, but it's going on this one instead. Can't wait for it to get here. I can finally stop drooling over Contender's and bugging him to sell one!

I was watching the two Ruger Max that were going on gunbroker. Glad someone here got one - especially since you’ve wanted one for so long. Congrats! Looking forward to a range report when you get your brass.

I really like my 10.5” gun, it is a great medium game gun for hunting. Congrats on getting one.

I probably looked at that one. I still haven't bought one yet. I hope you really enjoy it. Should make a fun shooter.

The seller had it listed as a magnum, but the SBH frame jumped out at me. I checked the photos and sure enough it said maximum. Contacted the seller and he confirmed that was the gun. I already had the high bid at $480 but didn't want to risk somebody else hitting the $900 buy now button, so I jumped on it. Going by the photos I can see no wear and no sign of gas cutting. It even comes with the original box and papers.

Now I can quit bugging you when I see you to sell me one of yours! When I get some time away from work, we need to do some more shooting. I've added a few since last time. Plus you can try out the 500 Linebaugh.

You are going to love that 10.5" Maximum, it's a dandy deer & antelope gun. Look back at some of David Bradshaw's write up's on it, he's pretty much responsible for it, right from the jump!
