"I'd like a 10 millimeter revolver. I'd like to handle one first" Or,,, you can try & find a Blackhawk convertible in .100/.40 S&W. The Buckeyes are out there too. BUT,, if you wish to handle either one,, come on over & visit. You can fondle mine & even shoot a little! But they ain't for sale!

I would Love a Single One. A Single Single. I've thought they'd make an interesting project for an aspiring gunsmith/machinist. Needs to have swap-able barrels if Ruger makes it. I think it'd be sweet in light calibers.

Unless the management totally changes,, I doubt we'll ever see a Hawkeye handgun ever again. Remember,, it was a marketing failure for Bill. And now,, even though many of us would buy one,, it still wouldn't be enough to sell the quantities the stockholders would like. The Single-Six sized guns in bigger calibers,, is also a niche market. Again, not enough general interest to sell the quantities necessary for a good profit. The Birdshead .327's,,,, they are more likely. The .357 Maximums,, a distant possibility. But look at the overall gun market nowadays. Black, plastic, tactical, and in the "cool" factor for the Gen Z types. We older guys who appreciate such stuff as the SA design etc. are a limited market. And let's face it,, Sturm, Ruger is run by a corporation,, & NO Ruger family is involved anymore. And the Custom shop,, very limited & only specific things are to be built. Not a true "Custom" where they take orders & build a specific single gun. Sounds like we need a new videogame released where some single actions feature prominently so we can drum up gen Z lusting after them. Actually, I imagine with the VR stuff out there something like that could be super popular since you have to do more with your hands than just pull a trigger like the nintendo zapper.
