Two birds with one stone... 45 LC / 45 ACP...

I like the looks of these guns, but there is just one problem. I am not climbing down the SA rabbit hole. It is simply too deep an adventure. Besides...I don't have a sheriff's badge!

That reminds me, to go with my 'Marty Robbins' "Big Iron" rig



Got a new badge to go with it.

According to Lipsey,this run of 500 revolvers of the Ivory 45LC/45ACP flattopp, have adressed the front sight lenght problem, accordinly to a June 2014 reviews, there is no more problems... We will see and report to you guys, i will have a leather holster made for it the same place i did for my SBH 44 mag 10.5 inch... JP.

Wow, nice chit.

How do you decide on barrel lenght?
Have it in my head to own a revolver in 44 something and think
the 7" barrel is the way to go?
What makes you decide on barrel length?

If you buy used you take what there is.

When you buy new you decide what your main purpose for said firearm is & go from there.

Personally, I'd like my next .44 something to be double action & in 4.2" brl trim... ala S&W 629'er.

If Ruger made a convertible Vaquero I'd go for one of those, too.

Have had Blackhawks before but don't care to own one again now, though.

not my photo, but i got one of the 4 5/8 models from him.... been waiting for one for awhile

 

[gdawg]

nice looking gun with those ivory coloured grips. like that 4 5/8th particularly

 

[caramel]

Those are really gorgeous looking revolvers... JP.

I've been looking at buying the 4 5/8" convertible. Anyone one know if the sights have to be re-adjusted every time the cylinder gets swapped out?…I'm guessing yes.

Different calibers will do that to adjustments... JP.

Here's a Bisley I picked up a few years back I've only ever shot .45ACP out of it blasting tin cans.

 

[Mark-II]

I like the look of the flattop.

But once you go 45Colt, 45 ACP will seem pointless

 

[fdc]

I know that the Rugers are solid, well built guns but they have none of the visual grace of the Ubertis. I realise that they are different guns but I want a SAA that looks vintage. And 44-40 is the round!

Not so fun to reload...

 

[Can-down]

I think the old model single six's are my favorite Ruger's for "look"

 

[caramel]

Cool Ruger... JP.

Then here's another you might appreciate.



An early flat loading gate model and one I may soon part with. MAY.
