What's with Ruger

I was reading last night that they were coming out with a Blackhawk II with plastic parts and a built in lazer sight. Should have been able to see it today but there's noting on it. Anybody else know anything?

It almost sounds like a site hack?????

This is quite dissappointing. I really like the Blackhawk and Super Blackhawk. I can't see how puttin' plastic parts in it would do it any good at all. In fact, I think it is a horrible idea all together. I don't even like the idea of the Glock or the Ruger LCR. It just aint right puttin' all dem plastic parts in a dang revolver. But mabey it's just me.....

Maybe not a hack; I've seen this on the 'net elsewhere. Supposedly being made in China by a division of Norinco.

Hi All,

Well, I consider myself to be an old timer.....when I buy something, I try to buy the best quality I can afford so I don't have to buy again in the near future. Compare this with today's society where nearly everything is disposable.....don't ever repair an item, just throw it away and buy a new one.....starting with computers.

My most frequently used firearms are an old three-screw Blackhawk in 45 Colt, and a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem both of which I purchased new in the box. After thirty five years of service these two will serve me the rest of my lifetime, and part of someone elses.

All we can do is check out the "new" Ruger we're hearing about in the news, and see what's what with it. Is it on their website???

A few of the gunwriter guys hinted that they had in hand a new Ruger Single action. They were sworn to secrecy until Jan 2010. Well people decided to post what they thought the new Ruger would be. Some serious some not

Hence the plastic sixgun. The new gun has been released. It is a Blackhawk stainless steel 8 shot in 327 Federal. All steel no Flash Gorden parts! You can read a review on Jeff Quinn's GunBlast site

Nope, I just have zero interest in the 327 Fed Mag or 7 and 8 shot revolvers. Six big fat .44s or .45s works fine. If you can't do it with that then you'll not do it with 7 or 8 little .327s.

Yawn ......

I like the .32's (although I have yet had any experience with the .327) and have a hard time imagining too much of a good thing. The more the merrier I say, bring on the 8 shooters!

I personally have no interest in owning a gun (long or short) that has a caliber that starts with 4. If I can't get it done with a .3xx I have no business doing it!

Btw, isn't the .327 more powerful outta a short gun than the .32-20 is in a long gun?

Sixgun · Post by **Sixgun** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 8:53 pm

Its a "niche" market for that gun. I only see it as a "play gun" as 99% of all revolvers are not much good for reliable and humane hunting over a hundred yards or so and the 32 mag. will handle that with ease with the light game intended. It would make a dandy camp gun for small stuff and passing the time.

When it comes to 32's, its next to impossible to beat the grand old 32-20.

Maybe I'm gettin' old but I'm addicted to my 44 Spls., mags, 38 WCF's etc.

I sure ain't no expert but I have shot enough stuff to realize Elmer Keith was right in the "heavy bullet theory".

But hey, hats off to Ruger.

I'd much rather see them get the business than some foreign company

adirondakjack · Post by **adirondakjack** » Mon Jan 04, 2010 9:16 pm

A .327 federal in a BH is not my idea of fun. Didn't they learn their lesson with .30 carbine? LOUD!!!!!!! is not FUN in anything ya might call a hunting gun, and I can't imagine it being welcomed heartily at indoor ranges. Now in a smallish revolver for CCW, sure, but not in a SA when ya could easily load the same sized package with 6 .357s.

Gday Joe,
I'm with you all the way on that sentiment.

A hit with a .22 LR is more effective than a miss with a .458 Win Mag.
Stop knocking the small bores, keep in mind, there are some people who are incapable, of shooting competently and accurately with the big bores.
These same people can and will, become competent with less " lively " pistols.

I say good for them for tryng something a little different. I think it's kinda cool. I love my Single Six .32 H&Rs and think I'd like to have
one of those stainless eight shooters.

Since I like the .32-20 a LOT, but find the brass kind of wimpy, and get nervous leaving 'hot' (modern) loads around when there might be old guns about they'd fit in, I like the idea of the .327 Mag - more from a levergun or a single action revolver than the little pug CCW guns, but wouldn't turn down a whole 'set' of all three - maybe toss in a ".333 Marlin" cartridge for the 336-length action...

I like my Single Six in 32 H&R . I might be intersted in one just for shooting 32 h&r in it. But I really want one in 32-20.

I do like the 32-20 as it's got history and panache on it's side. Plus it's been chambered in the most interesting guns. The 32 Fed Mag is nothing new. It's the same idea as the big fat magnum rifle cartridges that just duplicate existing rounds performance in a different package.

And this silly idea of 7 and 8 shot revolvers that S&W rekindled some years ago is bogus beyond belief. Not only that the extra flutes in the cylinders make the guns look busy, ugly.

For you recoil timid, arthritic, old codgers that can't shoot a real gun whose caliber starts with a .4x, I guess it's all right. But it's not for me.

The single action market has been pretty dull and boring for a long time if you ask me. I think an 8 shot SA is nifty keen and a 7 or 8 shot double action revolver is the most reliable, dependable gun you could want for concealed carry. Just my two cents. -Tutt

You know the old story. Used to, if you asked a Texas Ranger why he carried a .45, he would answer, "Cause they don't make a .46."

I guess now they do, even though it's really a .45 Colt magnum magnum.

I have no problem with an 8-shot revolver, I just like my six-shooter to be a six-shooter. You'd think Ruger would make it both ways. Didn't they used to make a Single-Six in .32 H&R Mag?

I have no interest in the speedy & loud bullet revolvers. I liked the NV in 45 colt coz it fit my hand and I wasn't interested too much in "Ruger only" loads.

What I'd like to see is more 5 round wheelguns that start w/4 that would fit in the pocket of my overalls.

I'd pert near kill for a 5 rnd 45 colt w/3" brl, semi-bobbed hmr, target hmr or DAO just make 5 & somewhat compact. No snubbies or ported brl.

Please don't mention the 45/410 judge contraption lest I speak my mind.
