Blackhawk in 30 Carbine

Any thoughts, experiences?

I wish I had one.

I also wish 30 Carbine didn't cost 0.45/ round. It's a bit 'painful' to shoot for that reason.

That's one of my main reasons for wanting one. I got an M1 carbine a few years back and it came with 800 rounds of cast reloads. I'm not keen on running these through the M1 but I could shoot the pistol for free.

Very good revolver!! Accurate very much so, LOUD!!! VERY LOUD!!!! Wear plugs and muffs!!! Last one I shot outdoors I only had plugs in, ear rung for two days!! Very cool to shoot at night or dusk, big fireball!!!!!!!

They're hard on bottles and lightbulbs.

Other than that, can't tell you much.

loud is correct. never shot the blackhawk but have shot the amt automag. very cool gun but muffs are a must.

Fun to shoot. Ballistics nothing to write home about, but low recoil, accurate, and easy on the gun. Too bad factory ammo is so high now. CB

Fun to shoot but wear all the ear protection you can, because, as others have said IT IS LOUD.

S&W made an experimental one in WWII and it was dropped for that very reason because of severe muzzle blast

Supposedly the most accurate Blackhawks made. Whether beacuse of the cartridge/weight ratio, or just unusually good barrel making from Ruger, I dunno, but I grew up shooting one. My dad also had an SBH .44, so I never found the .30 to be bad and it was spot-on accurate.
