I have a pair of 4 5/8 ss blackhawks in 357

Kirkpatrick Leather makes nice holsters. Long hunter used to carry them. The ones I use allow one to pull the pistol by the front of the trigger guard instead of only by the grip handle, and have a nice slight forward cant.

And the new model has the last three serial numbers engraved on the cylinder.

Too bad they stopped having the Long Range. That is a good range for that.

Read "The Earth is Weeping" by Peter Cozzens. the best treatise I have seen on the Indian Wars. they were soldiers, civilians and fellow tribal members.

If I have a high primer, I would estimate that 90 % are old winchester brass. If I disassemble the round and run it thru again, the primer is flat. Wonder why?

I would wonder if some goggles might cut down on peripheral vision and be a safety hazard?

I tried making some and they turned out satisfactory . The hard part is getting both the guide pin and the half circle at the top lined up.
