Through very sad times (inheritances) I find myself the owner of a 3 screw Flat Top Ruger in .357 and another 3 screw Flat Top Ruger in .41 Magnum. The .357 came from my wife's father, the .41 from my father. I'd like to find a 3 screw Flat Top in .44 Magnum to fill in the missing revolver. I've looked on here and didn't see anything. I'm new, so I can't post yet in the classifieds. Does anyone know of a decent source of Ruger single shot revolvers?

Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Ruger only made what would be considered a single shot--the Hawkeye in
.256 Winchester Magnum but that ammo is rare to find and pretty much left for handloading. If you meant Single ACTION revolver then there are hundreds of them for sale on the various auction sites like gunbroker & gunsamerica. On gunbroker there are quite a few original .44 Mag Flattops for sale and prices run from $700 on up. Just go to those sites and in the search area type in ruger flattop.

Welcome to the forum but sorry for your loss of both father and father-in-law.

Is your reference to a "3 screw Flat Top Ruger in .41 magnum" a typo and you meant to say .44 Magnum? The "3 screw Flat Tops" were only made in .357 and .44 Magnum calibers. The .41 Magnum Blackhawks were produced after Ruger updated the frame design from "Flat Top" to the "Hooded Rear Sight" type.



Note the difference:

This I did not know. I've always liked Ruger firearms, but, obviously my knowledge base needs some work. That .41 Magnum was my dad's favorite firearm. He was a collector of sorts...nothing real expensive and no "sets" of any group of firearms. He restored 5 WWI & WWII rifles, probably ruining any collector value they had. But, he enjoyed it and I'm the proud owner of another dozen or so revolvers, pistols and rifles.

Thanks for the pictorial tutelage; I can see the difference clearly now.

Just FYI there is a special run of flat top 41 Mags but they are new models not 3 screws.
