So my buddy is an FFL and had this thing lying at the bottom of his safe. New Blackhawk in .357 mag.
I asked about it and all he said what it was and then $200 and it's yours.  How did I do? Anything to look out for with these? Good loads for it? And how can I restore the blueing on it?

Great gun for $200. I think so! I've been wanting a single action for a while, or any wheel gun really. This scratched that itch just fine. Just need to clean it up a bit. |

Missing the rear sight blade? Looks like it. Still a great buy for $200. 
You can expect a great SA wheelgun. Welcome to the sickness. |

That one is a new model, so it's safe to carry with all six chambers loaded. But it's old enough that it doesn't have the safety billboard on the barrel. Enjoy, that's one of the strongest and most rugged 357s ever made.

Thanks guys.
I wouldn't have noticed the missing site blade without you all pointing it out haha. Guess I need to find on of those. |

Thinking about selling it and I'd be asking way more than $200 so I'd say you did good. |

You did great - just get a sight blade and shoot it . I happened to pick this up for the same price a while back (it's a 45):

I had bought a used Ruger P95 once, called Ruger because it was dropping the mag on recoil, they sent me a shipping label and took care of it! |
