 Attached FileWalked into a LGS feeling lucky for some reason and spied one of my grail guns. A stainless Ruger Blackhawk in 10mm/40 S&W. It was from a deceased friend of mine collection. He bought every new ruger that got introduced and never shot them. This Blackhawk was never shot by my friend and his widow consigned it and the rest of his collection. Sorry Rodney, I'm shooting this one in your honor. I'll even have a whiskey and cigar tonight and reflect on our conversations. Cheers Rodney! |

Very nice looking shooter. You can't beat a SA Ruger for quality and value.

Very nice!
I bought one of those shortly after they were released. I was on the fence between the 6-1/2" vs. the 4-5/8" barrel. I ended up getting the longer barrel like yours. These were pretty reasonably priced while they were available. I had been watching for a Buckeye Blackhawk .38-40 / 10mm for several years, but not willing to pay the asking price (not that I ever saw any sell at those prices). Interestingly enough, I found one of those as well, not long after buying the .40/10mm model. Pretty happy with both of them.

How does it headspace the length cartridges? |

Congrats on getting one of your late buddies guns.
It would've been nice if you could've bought it directly from her, but I understand that sometimes people just want to drop items off somewhere and be done with them, especially if they need the money to continue living without their spouse or significant other. |

In one of my rare good buying decisions, I eventually bought both barrel lengths, planning on having the 6.5” cut back to 5.5” and getting worked over, cause single actions with barrels of other than 5.5” are lame lol. Then I discovered that less than 1,500 of the longer barrel variant were made. So still it sits, cause spending a grand on custom work to cut the value in half just annoys me. |

Yeah, I wouldn’t cut that gun up, either, lol. I'm a big fan of 40s&w and just recently got into the 10mm game. These revolvers seem pretty cool. Might need to do some research. |
