Older three-screw Ruger Blackhawk Convertible with two cylinders, one in 45 Colt, one in 45 ACP. Such a good ol' revolver!

Beautiful revolver Guy! A true American Classic. I bet those 45 ACP loads are sure fun for plinking.

I had one of these in 45 Colt, but foolishly let it get away when a friend wanted it more than I did. It is a sweet piece, that's for sure.

Dad bought a matched pair, a 357 and this 45, both with brass grip frames long ago. 1970's or 1980's. He gave them to my sons quite a while ago, but my youngest son stores his guns at my place, so I take his 45 out every now and again for a little shooting. I figure it is "rent" for the storage space it takes up in my gun safe.
I've loaded for and shot this Ruger off and on for 40+ years but it's never really been mine. I just borrowed it from Dad or from my son. Pretty funny.
My son usually keeps the 45 ACP cylinder in place as he knows I've always got a stack of 45 ACP ammo boxes handy. He is welcome to mooch as much ammo as he'd like. I like to pop the 45 Colt cylinder into it now and then and shoot the bigger cartridges.
Regards, Guy
