    New Model Ruger Black Hawk

    Ruger only loads are meant for large frame revolvers only. Do not use higher pressure loads in the mid-frame Blackhawk or the New Vaquero.

    Clip draw for J frame?

    I've been using an original Barami Hip Grip for a very long time. Simply disappears under a t-shirt just behind the hip.

    The loaded shell will fit the chamber, the problem is the fired shell will not. How much that will raise pressure, I don't know. Modern 2 3/4" loads could be well in excess of the service pressure your gun was designed for.

    LC Smith - $250 what to look for

    LC Smith - $250 what to look for

    Okay then, never even considered that. :) Knowing that I would say look them over for any signs of abuse or significant wear (off face definitely qualifies), barrel dents etc. Oil soaked and cracked stocks are probably the single biggest concern. You should probably send them to a qualified...

    LC Smith - $250 what to look for

    If I'm reading this correctly both guns are missing parts and the one for sure needs significant repair to be safe. Sounds like they are both parts guns at best.
