I was perusing the glass cases at a local establishment and they had a couple of used Ruger blackhawks in 357 and I asked if I could check one out. They were thick and blocky chunks. I was wondering if the old model flattops were a lighter frame and smaller cylinder dia?????.
I have handled a couple of blackhawks in 45 and 44 but never had a 357. their big frame was nice for a 45 or 44 but it seems clunky for a 357 after shooting my S&W 13 or 586 so much. Are the new models BH's the same cyl diameter as an N frame Smith????
anyway I am now jonesin' for a early model S&W M&P any way but just wonderin' about the early flattop Blackhawks
