Re: ok, here she is...my Ruger 357

ya know OBJ, I'm not really into firearms myself, but I do enjoy those sweet lookin' ones. It is just a plus that she fires like a dream. I have a 9mm that's my home defence for when the ol' man is MIA. <br /><br />I think I really started wanting one of these when I fell in love with Clint Eastwood as a kid. He was just the coolest with the sweetest side-pieces. <br /><br />Now that I have the .357, I'm satisfied! Nothing better than a happy woman!!

Re: ok, here she is...my Ruger 357

oh, by the way, I do think I'm gonna have to cut about 3-3 1/2 inches from the barrel to get it outta the holster while I'm wearing it.

Re: ok, here she is...my Ruger 357

6 1/2 ..... what do you mean New model? I am not up on the in and outs of the different models, so maybe you can help me out. Is there something specific I should look for on the gun?

Re: ok, here she is...my Ruger 357

Are ya' gonna file the front site down or just cut the muzzle down so ya' can clear leather faster???...... <br /><br />Just kiddin' mam'....looks like a nice piece. Not into firearms but I do like the looks of a nice pistol and I like yours....

Re: ok, here she is...my Ruger 357

New model=safer model. Some years back, Ruger slightly changed the design to incorporate a safety transfer bar. Whereas before you could not leave the hammer down on a loaded chamber, now the trigger has to be fully depressed for the hammer to contact the firing pin. There were also some small differences in the number of screws in the side plates of the gun.<br /><br />Ruger will retrofit all 'old' (original) models, with the safety transfer bar, free of charge. It is not necessary to machine modify the gun to do so. They will return all original parts with your 'safetyized' gun.

Re: ok, here she is...my Ruger 357

Never fear One More Cast.....SW says he's gonna take that picture...who knows where it will end up?? <br /><br />After looking at it, I found the 'safety bar' that moves over the firing pin. I'm assuming that is what you are speaking of. how would you tell if the gun was modified? I'd like to be able to tell how old it is .... or is not.

Nice looking Single Action New model Blackhawk. Is she a 5 1/2" or 6 1/2" bbl. ?<br />Ray

Re: ok, here she is...my Ruger 357

Mrs Soulwinner,<br /> Yea it's a new 2-screw model=safer. Old models had 3 screws in the side of the frame rather than 2. Now I'd like to see you in a video wearing that gun, eatin a Hardees Western Bacon Thickburger, ridin' a mechanical bull. Any chance of that?

Ms. SW, check out the info at the bottom of this page; http://www.ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/SE-H-P-P95.html <br /><br />As for the picture, I assume it would be in the nature of a G Gordon Liddy Stacked and Packed Calender picture, hmmmm??

Re: ok, here she is...my Ruger 357

BoatBuoy, I'm not even sure where exactly I would find that mechanical bull....and hey, around here, anything's possible!!

Mrs.SW, I am also a big fan of Ruger's. I have a super Black Hawk .44 and a .22/.22 mag convertible http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/onemorecast/rugers.jpg and my favorite hunting rifle is a stainless M77 MK II 30-06 with a walnut stock.<br /> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v66/onemorecast/M77.jpg

Re: ok, here she is...my Ruger 357

Mrs. SW,<br />I have a Ruger .357 just like yours with the 4-5/8" barrel. These are great guns. I tinkered for a while as a wannabe gunsmith. I lightened my trigger pull to 2-1/2 lbs! Have fun! Hmmmm mechanical bull
