Ruger SBH and Springfield XDm

Scott Spencer · Jul 9, 2012

Here is my new 5.5" .44 Mag SBH. Built in July 2011 and I love it!! Got to order me a western holster for it now. :grin:

Here is my Springfield 3.5" XDm in 9mm. I've added a fiber optic front and rear sight and the rear is adjustable. I also used the enhancement technique to hightlight the engraving as found on the XD forums.

Those are a couple of fine looking handguns, Scott. Thanks for posting.

Scott, my Dad has that same SBH and I tried to trade him but he wouldn't budge! It is a great shooter. I would like to get me a short barreled SBH like that in a 45 Colt. Be a nice packing pistol I think.

Love that ruger!

Thanks, fellas. I like them both but the SBH has given me the single action fever!!!

Scotty - you and I think alike! I want a 45LC as well. I just can't decide if I want to buy a Ruger BH or something like the Uberti 1873 SAA

Those are some fine handguns. I'm itching for a SBH and your rosewood grips set that SS off nicely. The XDs are great too. I haven't tried your newer Match variant yet but have only heard good reports.

The 45LC is enjoying a nice and well-deserved comeback. A very versatile cartridge which is now loaded at levels unheard of during its heyday. You can really load them down for range work too.
