Well I finally got to shoot my new .44 mag Blackhawk. I'm sorry to say I'm disappointed with it. :( On the second shot the cylinder locked up due to the "base pin" (cylinder pin) coming loose from the locking base pin assembly and sliding forward alongside the barrel. After pushing it back in several times, we only fired 12 rounds and the problem repeated every few rounds, so we quit and did some research online. There I discovered this seems to be a universal problem with Ruger Single Action revolvers which is fixed with after market parts. I also think the attention to detail in the finish work is not what it used to be. I feel Ruger is rushing guns out the door without sufficient quality control.

I'm really surprised to run into these issues on what is a "staple" gun of which probably millions or at least hundreds of thousands have been made. One shouldn't have to buy after market parts for a new gun to make it work.

Other than that it's a blast to shoot, literally! We were shooting jugs of water. The 9mm made a little entry hole and a little bigger exit hole. The .45acp FMJ made a bigger entry hole and about the same size exit. The .44 Blackhawk blew the jug to pieces and kicked it about 5 feet into the air and maybe 6 feet backwards! So go ahead... make my day! :)

All the weight is in the cylinder, you take the cylinder out it weighes very little. There were some sharp edges which I sanded, hammer and trigger shrould.
Thanks to SS steel don't have to send back. Handle on gun is pretty small if you have big hands. Not trying to blast the gun but 44 special would work fine
in this gun. I traded this gun for a Taurus 44, heavy barrel in all (8 3/8"). I bought the gun for 44 mag loads and traded for the same reason.
Thanks, RJS

I am extremely impressed with this gun! accuracy is great and handles well , was a little reluctant to purchase a 44 mag because of the recoil horror stories I've heard but it is becoming my favorite revolver. I have other Rugers and have found that they are hard to beat for reliability ,accuracy and best bang for the buck . The first day out with this gun I put a 150 rounds through it and it's a joy to shoot. I now have my eyes on two more ruger 44 mags and as for Buds service it's great and speedy which means a lot to me , I purchased this gun and had it in my hands 6 days later, Buds may not be so local for me but they are becoming my gun dealer with this kind of service "thanks guys"!

I looked all over the web and Bud's had the best price. Also tried their layaway and was kept up to date on each payment without a hitch. Gun is a hoss and very well made. Couldn't be happier.
