Ruger Blackhawk Taffin Tribute: Packin’ Perfection

[Annihilator]

This is one very nice Ruger Blackhawk tribute to the late John Taffin….

Ruger Blackhawk Taffin Tribute: Packin’ Perfection

Lipsey’s honors John Taffin with a Ruger Blackhawk Flattop Bisley in .45 Colt with a .45 ACP cylinder. We shot real .45 Colt and .45 ACP loads, checked chrono and groups, ran leather, and asked if this tribute truly earns the title Perfect Packin’ Pistol.

That is a lovely sidearm.

My favorite single actions are Rugers with a 4 5/8th Barrel and a Bisley grip.

Fine looking revolvers

Beautiful

PSA: Couple of guys I know who have picked them up have reported some QC issues, which is sad.

So, buyer beware. If you order one check it out carefully before plunking down your hard-earned money. Issues I’ve heard about from reliable sources include grip-frame fit issues, barrel cant, even crooked lettering on the frame and cylinder throats all different. YMMV

I love Ruger single actions. I have a 5 1/2" Bisley .45 and several 5 1/2" NMBHs. I prefer the NMBH.

Beauty of a gun. I really like the metal/wood combo, but an old west style is not my jam.

Ya. Couldn't give me a Vaquero or Colt-clone. Yuk.
