Pictures of ROCS member Mike Splittgerber's award winning display from last weekend (Oct. 29 & 30) at the Minnesota State Fair Grounds Coliseum. This was a Minnesota Weapon Collectors Display/Trophy Show, Falcon Heights, MN.
Titled "Ruger Blackhawk Flattops, The Long & The Short of It". Mike's display consisted of Factory stags on 11 of the revolvers, .44 & .357 Flattops in every barrel length , an RSSE, plus a Tri-color Light Weight. Lots of related memorabilia and accessories. Mike won $150 for 2nd place in the modern handgun division.

Mike, You have something in that display that would appeal to every Old Model Ruger collector! Some really outstanding guns along with an array of factory grips!! How did you pack so much onto an 8' table? You need to come to the Ohio show in July and bring that same display, you might win something nice! Great display. Brass Frame/Lee E

Michael,
Most impressive stuff! Really like your stags and all the supporting items. Bring it to Tulsa and get those two stout looking young men to help you. Us old guys need all the young help we can get.

Mike,
That is a fantastic display of a bunch of fine old Rugers!! Make you plans to join ROCS at the OGCA July 2017 and show it off there. Thanks for promoting our hobby!

Thanks! Yes, could've used a second table...........kinda like three pints in an 8 oz jar..........Showed all RSS barrel lengths, plus the RSSE and the Tri Color, along with all barrels for the BKH 357 and 44 mags. No stags on the RSS9 as it was a transition gun with a steel ERH and XR3RED frame. Chose to leave the RSSE grips as shipped. Lots of interest and questions.......tough to have to educate some judges when they still think W, S&W, and C, with Ruger being (too) new with appearance on the scene "only" in 1949............Judges also do not like magic marker signs and labels.....
