    So this followed me home today...(lousy pics, sorry)





    I've been turning over the accumulation recently to finish projects and to focus on the things that really interest me. I knew I was going to be near a shop I don't normally frequent so I packed up a couple of things to see if I could get close to my asking price. In true guncrank fashion I ended up trading them plus a little cash to get this very nice, numbers matching Great Western Arms 5.5" .44 Special that I didn't know I wanted until I started checking it out. According to grip maker Sack Peterson it dates to 1956.

    I prefer the balance of the shorter tubes so I was planning on a 4 5/8" .357 Blackhawk (OM or early NM) as my next single action with a 4 5/8" .44 Special BH after that. These are rare enough I was willing to jump.

    So I went down to the LGS to let them know I had ordered some stuff and had it sent to them. Plus I had been itching for some cowboy shit lately and they specialize in that so I thought I'd browse a bit. Well it turns out something I had been eyeing for at least a year now. A Cimarron Man With No Name 1851 Navy conversion. If you don't know, these are replicas of the 1851 Navy revolvers used in the Clint Eastwood "Man With no Name" trilogy that were modified to use .38 special blanks while still looking as much like cap and ball revolvers as possible. Not only did they have this gun I had been drooling over for a while, the price on it was as good as the best price I could find online, so I couldn't pass it up.

    And somewhere I have a Blackhawk lying around but I can’t find it.
    You can get much more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than with a kind word alone.

    My favorite is a 1905 Colt Frontier Six Shooter .44-40 which has family history from the West Virginia "coal wars."

    A pair of 3rd gen shooters I picked up because they were cheap. Can’t buy a pair Rugers now for what I paid for these! I wish they were 45s, I’d shoot em more…

    Wow, theyre beautiful! My all time favorite configuration, even to the grips.

    What caliber are they?

    357

    They were cheap because there is a scrape on the trigger guard on both of them. Bothers me not a bit.

    I’ve only put a hundred or so rounds through each one.

    Be still my heart.....

    Many years ago I shot a ladies tuned up SAA in 357 at a shoot. She handed me a 100 rd box of ammo and told me to shoot it up when I asked if I could try it. Way fun. Ive wanted one in 357 ever since. Having an 1873 carbine in 357 has re-ignited the urge.

    Anything you want to trade?

    ...Or let me know if you get tired of them, or one of them.

    Okay, here's my lone single-action revolver, an Old Model Super Blackhawk whose serial number indicates a 1967 production date. It doesn't shoot too badly.

    I've got fewer than 100 rounds of hunting-power ammo remaining, then I'm going to order some coated 240-grain LSWCs and load them to about 950-1000 fps. I no longer hunt, and full .44 Mag thump ain't as much fun as it used to be.
