I had a Ruger BH back around 1972. Yeah, I know, that was a long time ago but I've been thinking about buying another one. I've since focused on S&W revolvers since that time so I know very little about anything Ruger except a few of their their rifles.
This BH I had was obviously an old model. It was 357 with a 5'' barrel IIRC. My question, what's the difference between the new model and the old one. Is it just a transfer bar under hammer or are there any other things I should know about the two. I usually just buy older S&W's because of the quality issues but not sure that applies to the BH's.
I would buy an old model if there is some good reason, I really don't have a preference. Maybe somebody could break it down for me. Not sure of the cartridge yet but I'm kicking around 357, 32 or possibly 30 carbine as I reload for those already. I have a 45 revolver already so won't be looking at that cartridge.
