My first pistol was a Ruger Blackhawk .357 I bought in 1990. Just turned 21 and it was perfect. Used it a lot. Shot SASS for a while.
Over time I became bored with it, but you can't sell your first gun. That would be wrong. What's a guy to do?
Well, I decided to send the gun off to David Clements for a conversion to .44spl. He removed the Ruger warning label from hell, restamped it to .44spl, rebored the barrel and opened up the cylinders, installed a new front sight, fitted a new base pin, made the cylinder free spin, gave it an action job, refinished the entire pistol, and case hardened the hammer.
Grips are simple Altamonts, but I like them.
Six months later I got this back and I'm in love all over again. I hope to hit the range Sunday to give her a test run.
