I have yet to see a Ruger revolver that was not perfect in fit and function. You will not be disappointed.

Less powder so there is less recoil, so faster shooting and target acquisition!!! They don't ware you out as fast and cheaper also.

I love my two. They started out as .45, but I got my gun smith to trade them out onto a pair in .357. I use them for Cowboy Action Shooting. These have had just about everything that my gunsmith, Hogleg Smith can do to them. I also had him trade out the hammers for Ruger Super Blackhawk hammers.

If SASS OK's the proposal to approve Bisley hammers on any gun, I'll have them installed too.
