Just discovered this revolver recently.
Ruger® New Model Blackhawk® Convertible Single-Action Revolver Models
My EDC is 9mm (G26, PT 709) and my fun gun/hunting rifle (if I ever get to actually go hunting) is a Marlin 1894 chambered in .357. I was planning on buying a SA .22 revolver for plinking, so I focused on Heritage Arms Rough Rider because it would give cheap ammo for practice.

Now that I see the Ruger will handle both my serious firearm calibers I am rethinking the matter. Of course, since the Rough Rider can be had for $150 and the Blackhawk for $550, cost is a consideration. But I am interested in what the experts know about the Blackhawk. Is it any good? Worth the extra cash?
