I have 1 hand and can remove and replace a cylinder in about a minute or less. It could have been him (too many thumbs). The price seems low for new but if it has been in the case for a while, like a year, the price could be okay. Different parts of the country can vary $20. When you mentioned " grocery store " it took me back to when I bought my Liberty Model SBH in 1977, milk, cheese, bread, hamburger meat, green chili, gun. My grocery store in New Mexico was that way. As far as barrel length I like 5.5" ( 1st choice ) 4.6" (2nd choice) and 7.5" when all else fails. I own 44's and 22's, the 22's are 5.5" single ten and a 4.6" single six and I like the 4.6" better. It is what ever balances best to you. By the way, NICE HORSE. good luck Jerry

I'm also in the market for a stainless Blackhawk. The steel grip frame on the stainless gives it a different heft and feel that I prefer, compared to the aluminum grip frame on the blued guns. Just a personal preference on my part. Any Blackhawk is a good choice.

Okay perfect. Thanks again everyone for the comments. I really appreciate it. I'm going to go with the shorter barrel and stainless. I hit 3 different grocery stores(just my nickname for the gun stores  ) today and they only had the blued.

Forgot to mention most gun shops will order any gun you want if they don't have it in stock.
