Here's one of those black box ROA. Never seen one with a lock before. Maybe this is gray too...lol.

No it's not mine.. I have seen the TALO edition though. I have no clue whats special about them. Heres one for sale on gun broker..I take it that's not your's? It looks like it could be black but then again it could be dark gray. I guess I'll have to take a picture of a gray box next to a black box...LOL. But, I was also wondering if there's such a thing as a ROA that came in a black box with a "Special Edition" sticker on the box. Was thinking that perhap TALO or Davidson's may have had such an animal to sell at one time.

I found the real TALO ROA.... Never seen one though. The ones on gun broker obviously are wrong...lol.. The guy who posted this says he seen this on the TALO site back in the day but never seen one for real..The only thing special from what I can tell is that they are NIB and available....that, and a red medallion instead of the black eagle. Black eagle would look better on that gun IMHO. BTW, the locks came with the "newer" ones.
Seems weird to me that TALO would do an exclusive with nothing I can see but a red medallion. Their website shows nothing but stuff in line with the horse pistol above.. Beautiful stuff..Yup, that's one of several TALO exclusives. There are other's similar to the one with the red eagle grips....that one is real just different.

Wow. I guess they were trying to capitalize on the fact that ruger stopped making them.. I wonder how old that page is. It says backordered..lolHere's one that doesn't even get the red eagle grips. Maybe they get a "special" action job?

Most likely they're probably from the TALO offering from 2017. Likely, just some leftover Ruger parts to get them out of the way in the factory but a "TALO exclusive" with the red medallion. As I understand it, TALO deals with limited edition, close-out buys, exclusive runs of firearms.
Yeah I really like them. Found them on flea bay. Really makes the gun. One day I’ll get a pair for one of my Old Army’sThats really nice. I have a NAA Companion mag and want those grips..lol. . I call it L. Chance...lol and carry it bicycling or when I go to big stores.. I load it with bullseye so its quite potent. I have been tryin to come up with a rear sight for it but I am afraid of messing with the tiny thing...lol..
This is a beauty. Not mine but Im working up the nerve to attempt the same....View attachment 883405

LOL... I agree, I don't like the grips either.. I want stag but will probably settle for some nice wood..
Im trying to find this one for sale. It is a special edition. Guy SAYS its a ROA, but i think its a 58
Looking for advice. I'm looking to get a conical mold for my ROA,but several of the recommendations in the back string of the forum are not showing up in searches for current molds available for sale.
I'm looking for something in the 200-225 range,this seems to be about max for it to clear the loader on an ROA. I know the recommended size for conicals is .454,but I've seen recommendations for .457 using a remote loader to press it in.
Anyways,the one I'm looking at is .456,220 grain Lee. My question is,will this be able to be pressed in with the stock loader, or is there another mold I am missing that would be better. Try not to break my bank!

I've shot quite a few of these.

I bought the mold for my Hawken rifle but I just had to try a few in the Ruger. I like 'em.
