The best Black Powder Revolver ever made??
Probably. I don't care for black powder but I have always admired these guns. Course, I usually like almost any firearm from Ruger.

I knew the answer to that before I opened the post.
Nice but I have my sight on a couple other item for this year.

Ricci, you and I got that love for Ruger revolvers in common! I've owned a whole bunch of Ruger's. Not a bad one in the bunch! The Mark series and the 10-22s are my favorite toys when I want to burn a lot of ammo in short order!

Ricci that guns never been shot and as you know those are the wrong grips.

Sam beat me to the question about the grips, but they don't look bad on that gun. The Old Army wasn't a big seller when it was in production, but the prices now are going out of sight. That's another one I should have bought a few of back in the day. Of course I was also stupid enough to pass on a brand new .256 Hawkeye when Ruger couldn't give them away. After all who would want a single action, single shot that looked like a revolver? Now the Hawkeyes are north of 3 grand and just another example of my woulda, shoulda, coulda, history of buying firearms. Bob

Best muzzleloader ever made. Yet, something was not quite right. Since I use a loading stand, I removed the bullet ramming device. The gun felt muzzle heavy, so I got my favorite gunsmithing tool, the Sawzall, and cut the barrel off.
Now, the gun handles pretty well.

I vote for the original Remington. The Ruger Old Army is okay, but the one I used to own and fire a lot was fussy about the size and make of caps, and after firing a few cylinder-fulls, it would sometimes start to bind up from all the black powder buildup. My original Remington isn't fussy, and just keeps on going.

Not really a fan. I like my BP revolvers to look historical even if they are reproductions.
That Ruger has as much in common with the originals as the Blackhawk has with a Colt SAA.
