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! :)
