A few months ago I picked up an Old Model Flat Top Ruger 357

from an estate sale a few years ago, and it is a great shooter and such a handy size. points so well.

so I swipe my brother-in-law's OM Blackhawk in 357 whenever we're up north. Shucks the only time HE ever shoots it is when I take him to the range. Weird thing, I've never owned a 357 of any description, but have shot his a lot over the years. Those old flat tops just "look right". His is the next model after yours and is decently accurate with whatever I feed through it. He called me up from the gun show years back to ask me what I thought. I thought he should buy it, so he did. :-D The problem is convincing him to sell it to me. The next best thing is to simply take custody of it while traveling up there.
