So recently I traded for a Ruger single six 22LR/22Mag combo and was also just offered a super deal on a Ruger Blackhawk 357/9mm,
I sure as heck can't wait to get 'em.
Any comments on either of these is appreciated,
Thanks in advance

If you like single action - Single Six and Blackhawk are a must have guns. I am waiting to add a Old Army, a Bisley to my collection.

What is there not to like? But, of course, we already agree on that.

I've never quite understood why (too many westerns as a kid, I guess), but I'm a sucker for an SAA "Peacemaker", or clone. Getting a genuine Colt Peacemaker was an obsession, for a while. Eventually, I decided that buying (or reloading) and shooting .45 Colt didn't appeal to me as much as .357/.38. I soon learned that the only way you can get a Colt SAA and .357 in the same gun is to buy a 3rd generation piece. That would make it a relatively or completely new gun, and I wanted one from the 1st generation with all the character flaws. I ended up buying a Uberti in .357 with their new "antique" finish - it seems to have scratched all my itches (except the "genuine Colt" part, which solved itself when I got a steal of a deal on an "Officer's Special .38" with pearl grips.

I found this '94 by accident at Uncle Ed's in Edmonton,she's a beauty,brand new and such a sweet addition.I never thought I'd find a "Trapper" in .357!
I can't say I care for the 'safety',but who's #####'n!!
Whattya think?
 
I have the exact same lever gun. If you shoot .38spl in it, make sure you're snappy on the lever. If you work the action too slowly you can end up with a round stuck under the shell carrier. If this doers happen to you, you will need to remove the front cap of the magazine tube, (watch out for the spring) and rattle the rifle around until the errant round makes its way back into the mag tube.

Thats good info,Thanks A-P,
 
Well agit-prop,you were right. I fired both .38's & .357's and had couple'a stoppages with the 38's,So I think I'll stick 357's.
The 38's did'nt want to feed up the ctg guides? Too short to properly feed I guess?

IIRC the Hawkeye was a single shot based on the single action frame. It had a flatsided "cylinder" that you would rotate out to load the single chamber. It was chambered in .22 Jet I think.
