But neither are revolvers.

So True!

Favorite weapon may be the wrong word.
Especially with Blackhawk & Single Six there is so much history that has influenced Ruger's development a lot from its beginnings until today. That makes them so interesting for me and I am happy when I can learn something new again. The Hawkeye also exerts a great fascination on me because of its rarity and its exotic caliber, but I think that in Austria it is more likely to be struck by lightning than to get a well-preserved Hawkeye or a maximum frame.

any OM unaltered revolver. but those in 44 spl, and mag and 45 colt get the nod.

I'm a big fan of the 44 Special and that's why my GP100 had to be in that caliber. It is really a shame that this caliber is increasingly being forgotten and that there are so few available weapons in this caliber today.

Flat top 44s though it now belongs to my grandson it was and still is the best fun gun ever.

The flat top and especially the 44 is a painful wound for me because I unfortunately only know it from pictures and have never seen a Real or even been allowed to hold it in my hand.

PS:

I would be very grateful for Austrian development aid in the form of pictures of the Hawkeye, Flat tops or the Bearcat.

Can’t pick a favorite, but the only Ruger revolvers I have at the moment are all Blackhawks

Slowly acquiring 3-screw versions of my New Models

It's hard to decide on a favorite but for the one that gets carried the most is easy. I live in Grizzly country so its an old model 45 Colt loaded with Buffalo Bore ammo.

What 45 Colt are you using here +p or anything else? I have no experience with hunting or with bears, but what I've heard many times is that people swear by the 45 LC + P, that's why I ask.
