Bought new in 2005, just before Ruger went with the new XR-3 grip frame...this hi-gloss stainless steel version is the Old Model built on the Blackhawk frame. It has a 5.5 inch barrel...and is chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge.
thats sweet , ihad one myself it had the laminated camo grips, but mine was on the blackhawk with adjustable sights and 5in barrel also, one i should not have traded
I passed on one two years ago and got a 7.5" Blackhawk in 45colt.Sorry about it now.I like the Ruger Only Section in my reloading book.
My birthday present later engraved by Ruger Studio of Art and Engraving Heidi Roos engraved it in 2007 just before the studio closed and started contracting with Baron Engraving Now if I could just take a good photo!
