.41 Mag Association

[Mark_Mark]

Charlie.... Lipsey's had a run of Flat Tops years ago and I managed to get this one....really wanted the 4-5/8" model but this is a good one...Stocks are rosewood from rifle blank I've been whittling on for years. IIRC, I think they also had a run of Flat Top SS ones as well...others here may know for sure.

Best Regards Rod

Those Blackhawks look GREAT! Wished they were not so expensive! Would love a short barrel in Stainless!

I think SA is the way togo with .41 Mag!

Well it’s Saturday and I finally picked it up.
S&W model 57 8 3/8 no dash, pinned and recessed lower serial number N1250xx.
It’s a factory Pinto, blue frame, nickel barrel and cylinder. Wood presentation box, so the story goes…new in the box unfired. I see I slight drag line on the cylinder but I’m not sure how much handling it has to see to develop it. I will be on the sidewalk talking to the doorman until someone lets me inside.
Here are the pictures…

A couple more, sorry not a good photographer.

@Yamifrk your new Pinto looks very distinctive - first one I have seen. OH

Finally! That thing is awesome bro. And these pics are better than the last ones you sent me.

That's what I said.

Good score champion

I would agree. At the end of the day, they are just Ruger Blackhawks.




I don't know if I was aware that Ruger made a .41 in a Flattop model. I've sworn off Ruger SA's in general, but I always liked the feel and handling of the .44SPC Flattop I had for a bit. Too bad there were so many things wrong with it. I don't know what I would do if I actually saw a .41 Flattop...

A 4-5" Redhawk in .41 is still pretty high on the ToGet list... nice gaggle you have there! Whenever I see one, it's either A) a 7", or B) priced into the Stratosphere.

If I remember correctly there was a limited run for a wholesaler from Illinois a few years ago. If I wasn't so lazy I go thru the pile and dig them out.

I'm really diggin' the two-tone look!

Very cool!

I don't recall ever before seeing a Pinto with an 8-3/8" barrel. Nice score!
