Well hopefully the wife won't get too mad at me. I ordered a ruger Blackhawk .357 and a stainless Bearcat through our rod and gun club here at the air base. Should be in Saturday. With the 11 percent they charge it's going to cost me 644.60 I think this is a decent price for two great guns. I was thinking hard on a vaquero - but with target shooting and possibly white-tail deer hunting - I opted for the blackhawk. Now the Bearcat is just going to be a fun little gun and like Dusty maybe I will take my granddaughters out shooting next time they come to visit from Colorado.

I got two Rugers in April, a 5 1/2" SS Super Blackhawk and a SS Bearcat. The SB is very accurate, it is hard to tell with the Bearcat. I have recently gotten a 50th Anniversary .357 Mag. Flattop Blackhawk. While I had a pair of Vaqueros, I didn't like them as much as the Blackhawks. I like the much better sights of the Blackhawk. Personal preference.
Congrats on your purchase.

Thanks Tom. I went online to Ruger's site - man the retail price of those guns are outrageous!! I'm glad I'm getting them at the price stated above.

I have two Blackhawks, a 45 Colt/45 ACP convertible and a 10 mm/38-40 convertible. I bought the 10 mm/38-40 as a companion for my '73 Winchester in 38-40. It was made in 1891.

I also have a Single Six convertible 22.
