Why I Love the .44 Special
My first centerfire handgun was a Smith & Wesson Model 27 in .357 Mag. The versatility of the cartridge, along with its capability of handling less-expensive .38 Special ammo is what lured me to this revolver.
A New .45
A couple of years ago, the Louisiana-based firearms distributor Lipsey’s put together a contract with Ruger to produce a Blackhawk Flattop .44 Special revolver. Seems they took notice that quite a few original Flattops in .357 Mag. were making their way to custom revolversmiths to be converted into the better caliber.
Ruger New Model Blackhawk .44 Special
The New Model Blackhawk .44 Special, circa 2010, is a six-shot, single-action revolver in the Flat-top design.
