Hey folks,
Got myself a nice used Super Blackhawk in 44 mag this week.
I haven't owned a revolver for several years, but around 15 years ago I briefly got into cowboy action guns and had several SAA clones.
I seem to recall, when opening the loading gate, that it was easy to just put a shell in, rotate 1 click, put another shell in, etc. Same with ejecting spent cases, just plunge the rod, rotate to the next one, etc.
The Ruger doesn't line up in the way that I would expect. You can't load a cartridge into it when you rotate a "click" - it goes slightly too far. Same with the ejections.
Is this a sign of trouble or just a quirk of the gun?
