I’m looking to buy a Blackhawk soon...as in a couple days after I get to the bank to deposit some cash that I got for selling a boat motor today. I WILL be buying a ruger Blackhawk. And it will be one of 3 options on caliber... all the same setup, look, and price. The three options...
.30 Carbine
.357 Mag
.41 Mag
Added .45 Colt because they have a convertible to 45acp for $50 more.
Each has its own merits and I’m somewhat equally drawn to all three.
I already reload .30 Carbine and .357. I’m better supplied for .357, but that’s not really here nor there because I have been meaning to buy more components for my 30carbine anyway. I have no reservations whatsoever of adding another caliber to the bench as I’m already loading or tooled to load about 40 calibers.
I already have a couple 357s including a buntline single action, and a contender pistol barrel. I do not, have not ever had a .41 mag but I have been on the lookout for one for a while and was pleasantly surprised to see the Blackhawk .41 available.
I already have a Marlin model 62 .30 carbine and want to put a .30m1c handgun with it, but being the odd rifle it is I always figured I would put a contender barrel in the mix for it.
So... price, barrel length, configuration are all identical. Which one do I order once the money gets to the bank account?
