Ruger .44 mag Super Blackhawk is a lot of fun. And built like a tank. I also have a regular Blackhawk for 357 and 38.

I don't know if "need" is correct. No, wait. Yes, you do need one OP. They're a lot of fun and you can find one from cheap to $$$. I've got a basic Uberti clone in .45 Colt and a Ruger Bisley in .45 Colt/.45 ACP.
I gave my son one of these for his 50th BD. My grandkids were fascinated by his Texas Ranger Commemorative "cowboy gun" in .45 Colt. They've grown up shooting only semi-autos.  Attached FileFor her 12th BD my granddaughter chose a .22 copy of a SAA. |

Evil bastards!
I sold off my .357 blackhawk and Single Six. I am all in on DA revolvers at the moment. You tempt me to get some short barrel single action. I had a 6 1/2” and a 5 1/2” .22lr. 4 5/8” barrels would be ok. Maybe a .32 to be different. Rather have a .32 H&R chamber than a .327. Enablers. |

I've got 3 good lever guns(two 30-30 1894's and a 1895 in 405), guess I need to get a SAA clone now.

Yes you do.
You need a SAA clone true to form without the safety transfer bar fag system. If you can safely load six, walk away. |

You need a SAA.
Then you need a matching lever rifle. Then you need a lever rifle and SAA in .22 for, uh, reasons. Then you need a second SAA and a shotgun for cowboy action shooting. Then your life will spiral out of control and you will be a broken wreck of a man. DO IT NOW!!! |

I thought I needed one. Was watching the Season 1 first episode of Yellowstone, opening scene Costner has to put down an injured horse and he used a Ruger Redhawk S/S. Decided I needed one. Got a Ruger Blackhawk in .41 Magnum.

Quote HistoryQuoted: That really depends on your needs. A Ruger will allow for a steady diet of super hot loads (Buffalo Bore, etc) with no problems, others…not so much. Yes. The Ruger is an excellent choice if you want to hot rod or you plan on beating it up regularly (CAS, etc.). They're absolutely stronger guns than the SAAs and clones - even the new Vaqueros with the smaller frame are, though they can't handle the really hot loads the old Vaqueros or Blackhawks can. OP, you do also know that you'll need a good gunbelt and holster, too, right? |

The answer of course is "Yes".
Now which, that is the question. I have a Hammerli repro of a 45 Colt SAA, owned a couple Ruger's for awhile, and they were nice to shoot, but weren't "true" SAA. The EMF Dakota's are currently my common shooters, but I still want to get a Schofield repro. |

I have a bisley vaqurero in .45 colt I don't enjoy much anymore. That's just with heavy bear loads though. Powder puff loads are fun. Had to put a belt mountain base pin in it because the factory pin walks out under stiff recoil. Probably going to sell it.

45 colt. Don't get anything else. 44-40 maybe cool but I have never seen any for sale in 6 months of looking. You can find 45...LONG...colt for under 1$/shot. Use ammoseek daily (hourly). Get the one you want the first time. You'll get more but don't cheap out on the first. Get one that catches your eye and you want. Uberti > Pietta (but Pietta sure isn't junk....heritage is though

I think everyone should have at least one single action. They’re not as useful as more modern designs but they’re still a lot of fun and that’s the only reason needed to own one. I frequently wear a .45 ACP Blackhawk (convertible) with fancy grips when I go fishing, just because…
