Ruger Blackhawk plow handle fits my hand perfectly. I can thumb cock it one handed pretty easily and efficiently.
I can't thumb cock a large frame Freedom Arms with Bisley style grip one handed. Just can't reach the hammer with my thumb.
Thanks. That helps.
As a side note, I think the choice of model names is kind of funny. In my mind, Classic and Original are synonyms (both meaning "the same design as the one we built way back then").
I bought a used Forster case trimmer. I was trying to figure out which collet and pilot I need, I learned the Original and Classic models use different (incompatible) sets of collets. So, I need to know if my trimmer is an Original or Classic model.

It's hard to double charge 32 mag with Unique powder. My cases are nearly at capacity with 100 grain plated hollow points. A double charge would not fit with room left for seating the bullet. I'm using Rainier bullets seated so the over all length is right on the max for 32 mag. I'm using...
>> BTW to the Ruger owner: The barrel shoulder is lathe turned back, not the frame !
Yeah, I know. But I don't have a metal lathe. The front of the frame looks a little rough textured. I'm just going to polish it smooth with 1000 grit sand paper. I'm not taking a grinder or other carbide...
I have a Ruger Blackhawk 327 with this same issue. Obviously (due to caliber) it was built in the last few years. I bought it used at a local major outdoor products store. It is my first handgun.
I didn't notice the front sight was way to the right until days later. I checked as many...
