Hello all. Been watching this community for a bit and have fallen in like with it. A treasure trove of info and experience!
I spent a couple decades in the military and fought fires with the USFS…(fell out of airplanes with them😁😁). I used to spend quite a bit of time with revolvers; loved them then and love rediscovering the fun one can have with them. I currently own a Ruger Blackhawk 3 Screw 4 5/8 357. I’m having Doc Barranti craft me a Three Persons holster for it. Living in Montana it just didn’t seem right to not have an old single action!
Thanks to all who do the work to keep this site going and thank you to all for making me realize this is an awesome place.
Stay safe
Ray

Welcome from the Pineywoods of East Texas Ray ! I’ve been shooting and toting handguns for nearly 60 years, but as said above, I’m still learning ! There are some real aficionados of the sixgun here, unfortunately I’m lagging behind them,  but I’m trying to catch up !  |

Welcome. People here are very helpful. I am a neophyte, so listening in here has helped me so much. I like that 3 screw 357 you have. I bought one with the longer barrel with plans for a custom. I like it too much now to change it!

Welcome from North Carolina and another new guy to this forum!
One of my favorite SA Rugers is my well worn 1956 born 4,5/8" 357 Blackhawk. This has become one of my favorite forums and I check in on it every day.

Welccome Bill! I haven't been on your site in forever and a day. Hope it is still doing well. My old site has pretty much faded away like the C&R imports have. |

Welccome Bill! I haven't been on your site in forever and a day. Hope it is still doing well. My old site has pretty much faded away like the C&R imports have. Sad. Mostly why I got out of the custom rifle building business. Imprts dried up, parts non-existent, and MSR's in abundance. Oh well, leaves more time for shooting. |
