    I had a thing for the SA rugers at one time. Nice pistol. This could be a Ruger S/A picture thread.

    I'll play. OM Super Blackhawk. .44, NM Blackhawk .357, and NM Single-Six Convertible 22 LR/Mag currently make up my Ruger single action stable. I've had others in the past, but these 3 seem to make up a nice battery.

    three50seven, those are some nice stocks on that 44. The one thing about Rugers is they put some plain stocks on them. Then again, they aren't plastic.

    BGDave:
    Thank you! They're aftermarket laminates of some sort. I bought that gun for a song. It's been bubba'd up pretty good (barrel chopped and dura-coated), but it's an unconverted old model and shoots great!.

    Was maybe around 1980.....pops got a .44 mag flattop.

    Asked me to shoot it first. W the old Keith load.
    Shot 5 and handed it back, said it sucked.

    He called me a p***y an loaded it up and gave it a go.

    Looked back at me and said " yup, this is a pos "
    We both prefer Supers w dragoon frame, reg wood grips.

    I get down low on the back and take the swat. Up to 255s and my hand doesnt slide.

    Had a reg Blackhawk 357 old model and even as a kid hated the grip.

    New model stainless w super dragoon frame swapped would be pretty comfy.

    No likey Bisley

    Do think the short bbl flattops to be darn good looking. But I wouldnt get one ( for me ) unless .357

    I don't care for the original XR3 frame either. The XR3-Red and Super frame are much more comfortable. I bought an new flat top .44spl when they came out. It was a great gun, but I couldn't make myself like the grip frame.

    There is a place that makes oversize wood grips w the Ruger medallion. Those might be the ticket for enlarging the flattops to comfy.

    They look pretty normal, made in Texas iirc.
