I just picked up an old model blackhawk yesterday. 6.5" in wonderful condition. Tried some 38sp loads I had in it and it shoots better than I can.
Had time to load some 357 today. They drop in fine. All except the last .135". Sure enough it's a 38sp chamber.
Anybody know if a blackhawk, sn 30-54xxx range was offered like this? It looks to be a factory cylinder. Maybe a rechambered 9mm? Throats are .357".
I have always had new models. This is my first 3 screw, so I don't know much about them. The frame is marked 357 cal.
