standard Blackhawk gripframe, sort of a mix of Super Blackhawk and Blackhawk. You don't see many of them, in fact we got 2 of them last week and they are the first in probably 10 or 12 years. I hunted with one of them back in the early 90s. I used one of this model in this pic. I did some custom work on it. Kase was around 15 or so (he is 47 now). Kase used a custom 45 Long Colt that he did work on.

The gun Kase used he had used since he was around 10 or 11. He took several exotic critters plus 2 Javelina.

time but they must not have been a big seller as you very seldom see one. After the silhouette games sorta petered out Ruger eased back on the 10.5" guns too. Those have been real hard to find just like the 4 5/8" guns.

Interesting
