Not real sure why I never came here

I own more Rugers than any other in my handgun collection and have a 10/22. My first centerfire handgun was a new stainless Security Six in 1978. I traded it for a like new Blackhawk in .357 which I still have. I had a P95 which I traded for a Taurus M85UL when I got my CCW in 96 and bought a P85 with two 15 round mags from a friend. I have a P90 I absolutely love and a .45 colt Blackhawk that I adorned with stag grips and engraving, love that thing, too. Just bought a SP101 from son-in-law I really like, have an Old Army cap and ball, and the 10/22. Never owned a bad Ruger. So, current count....

P85
P90
.357 Blackhawk
.45 colt blackhawk
Old Army
SP101 .357 magnum 2.3"
10/22

Here's my show off gun, not just looks, thing is awesome accurate.

Glad to see you made it NativeTexan *grins*

And that is a NICE .45! I don't think I've seen a picture of it before.

The first thing I thought of when I saw that gun was ribs and cheeseburgers. Nice gun and welcome.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, it's a showy piece, but it's also a rugged working outdoor gun. I got a little carried away spending money on it, but I always wanted an engraved single action and Blackhawks are my favorite single action.

I think I put it in the "other guns" gallery on taurusarmed.net. Yeah, you talked me into signing up over here.
