Shooting and discussing a vintage three-screw Ruger Blackhawk Old Model in .45 Colt, exactly like the very first centerfire firearm I ever owned borrowed from Simpson Limited in Galesburg, Illinois, a highly respected dealer in vintage firearms.

Can we all take a minute and appreciate all the time and knowledge hickok gives us? Not many other youtubers in the category putting out top tier videos as often as he does with actual knowledge.

My first revolver was a new model in 45 Colt. I liked it a lot. A few years later I picked up a Colt clone, also in 45 Colt, made by Uberti. I ended up selling the Ruger and keeping the Uberti, cause I just wanted to hear that c-o-l-t whenever I drew back the hammer. Silly, I know, but i really like my Uberti. Eh, I have other Rugers, so I'm good.

I loved listening to your “younger days” stories. It caused me to reminisce. Keep up the good work Hickok.

That is a great story, Greg. My father passed away this summer and I inherited a 1970 Ruger Blackhawk .357 from him. It was originally purchased by my grandfather. It has the original action and I don't plan on upgrading it; I just want to keep it original. I also have another cylinder for it so that I can shoot 9mm ammo in it. As you said, it is a solid and well-made firearm. I have taken it to the range once and was surprised by how accurate I could shoot with it.

Love the old model’s trigger. I’ve got one in 41 Magnum, and it’s a tad nicer break than my New Model 357 mag’s trigger. Bought mine from an old friend who carried it while prospecting in BC. Holster wear etc, a real working mans gun. Mine is also a 1972 manufacture, and I have the original bill of sale. I bought my first handgun a 357 New Model Blackhawk in early 1973 . Carried it for cougar protection as a Forest Technician , never needed to use it for that purpose. Sold it later, but acquired another one in the convertible model a few years ago.

Dear Hickok, your age, your vintage, make you evermore rare and precious.

I remember the old guy at the shop in the late 70's. Big ol' belly, silver hair and wearing a revolver. He was very annoyed by this kid (me) standing there asking questions. Funny thing is I wanted a Ruger in 357. My dream cartridge at the time and still is my sentimental favorite.

Thank you for all you do for all of us. The Ruger Blackhawks and New Model Blackhawks are Great Firearms and are favorites to many reloaders. Another Testament to these Revolvers is that many reloading manuals have a section dedicated to them. That speaks volumes in and of itself. Be well. Peace.
