Couldn't resist. These seem kinda hard to find so when I found this 357, LNIB, I had to get it. I have three Blackhawks but this is my first

Good catch. I've often thought that one of those and Doc's Tombstone shoulder holsters would be a nice package

"Bought my last pistol...for this year."

That's crazy talk...there are still a good 10 days left, I bet you can squeeze in one more.

I usually buy four or less each year. This year I'm at 7...it's all good.

I never put a number on it. I'm always on the look out for a great deal.

It’s a nice looking bird’s head model. I regret selling my old model Vaquero in .45LC. The Carry Hawk models do seem interesting to me as I’ve thought of conceal carrying a single action. Maybe one in .357 with a big dot front sight or fiber optic would be nifty… or just get a Bisley of some type.

I occasionally conceal a Blackhawk Bisley in 45lc/45acp and will probably carry this one as well. I do restrict carrying a single action to the days I'm going to be in my store all day...having a bit of an advantage. Usually though. I stick with my 1911.
The concealment holsters from Mernickle for these are phenomenal.

Mernickle and El Paso is what I had looked at before. I’ll give it another thought if I happen upon a Bisley or one of those Carry Hawks at a decent price. If a Bisley maybe get some of those Bowen Rough Country sights or something similar since I’ve already had a Bomar blade cut up a Hawaiian shirt before.

Beautiful! Those Rugers are tough SAAs! And I LOVE the birdshead - especially carrying in a crossdraw on horseback - no sharp corner to jab one's belly. Mine is a .45Colt Cimmaron stainless with the lowered hammer and custom tuned with Wolff springs (and none of their new floating-firing pin "safety" BS). Not as tough as the Ruger (and your t'fer bar gives you the ability to carry SIX, which I'm jealous of), but a VERY fine, slick shooter.

Congrats!
