This was an online purchase that I picked it up from my FFL a couple of days ago. I have shot 150 rounds of my 180gr XTP / Blue Dot reloads through it and it was flawless. I added the checkered grip panels after the fact...

Are there spring loaded nubs to hold the rimless case? Looks like fun.

I know I like to poo-poo things...but personally, this one isn't for me. I have a short barrel S.Blackhawk on my short to-buy list...and I'll stick with 44 magnum. That lets me go special or magnum and I'd rather have 44 mag than 10mm.
Neat pistol though...just not my bag. |

Perfection. I bet it is a flame thrower with the 10MM.
Brownells or Wolf spring kit will make it much nicer, if that isn't already installed. |

This is not my only 10MM pistol, but it is a great addition to the family… I do not have to worry about picking up my brass that has been scattered all over by my semi autos and I do not have to mess with loading and unloading moon clips as I have to do with my other 10MM revolver. I am a 10MM fan for my own reasons and it works for me… |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
In a single action pistol using a semi auto round, the case headspaces on the groove cut in the cylinder in the same manner it would headspace in an semi auto pistol barrel. You have to eject each round from the cylinder by hand one at a time. I have a Ruger Blackhawk 357 mag with a 9mm cylinder and it works in the same manner... Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: In my opinion the 10MM Blackhawk is what it is. It is a small bore (non magnum) pistol and cannot compete with its large bore and magnum brothers. It could be a woods gun, but I feel that there are better options for that. If you do not reload, the 10MM is probably not for you. The cost of ammo would prevent most from shooting it on a regular basis. Since I do reload, it is perfect for me. Other than the brass, it uses common components (powder, primers, and bullets) and dies that I already have on hand for reloading other pistol calibers. This is not my only 10MM pistol, but it is a great addition to the family… I do not have to worry about picking up my brass that has been scattered all over by my semi autos and I do not have to mess with loading and unloading moon clips as I have to do with my other 10MM revolver. I am a 10MM fan for my own reasons and it works for me… Either way, it's clear the 10mm is the new/old hot ticket at the moment, all kinds of new firearms are hitting the market in that round. |

I am struggling to see the point of a 10mm single action revolver. Side gate loading precludes the biggest reason to chamber a revolver in a rimless cartridge, moonclips**. Yet this silly 10mm Blackhawk revolver can't use moonclips at all. Two cylinders just to shoot 40S&W and 10mm in the same revolver because it's a single action with side gate loading and thus has to head space off the case mouth. 41 Rem Mag makes a lot more sense in that revolver than 10mm. More power and has a rim that would work better for a single action head spacing on the rim and can shoot 41 Mag and 41 Special in the same cylinder.
If you really want 10mm in a Revolver get a S&W 610 or have a GP100 converted at least then it could use moonclips and shoot 40S&W in the same cylinder. YMMV ** Sure you can run moonclips with many rimmed cartridges but the moonclip for rimmed cartridge are not nearly as robust and tolerant of brass manufacture as the moonclips for rimless cartridges. |

Sorry but I don't get the 10mm, for big bang I'd rather use 45acp or 44mag, for plinking its 9mm and 38spl. Lots of brass and options for bullets.
It's a very nice revolver, can't go wrong with a Ruger. |

If your a shooter and have other pistols that fire the .40/10mm, then the Blackhawk fills the niche of having a wheel gun to shoot the same rounds and not have to pick up the brass. Ballistically the .41mag is hard to beat but that is even more of an oddball niche as .44 and .45Colt overpowers that for argument sake... (The two cylinders is to extract the most accuracy of each cartridge by eliminating extra freebore between the case mouth and cylinder throat.) Also, the extra expenses of moon clips aren't required with this, so more shooting as long as your not in a hurry...
I have two .40 bottom feeders and have been eyeballing this revolver. The S&W 610's are discontinued and priced for much more than this Ruger goes for. |

I have the 6.5" Blackhawk 10mm/ .40 S&W on layaway, plan on picking it up next month. All I shoot is .40 and 10mm so it fits the bill perfectly, although I would like to see Ruger come out with a 10mm/.40 S&W GP100.

I was just looking at the 6.5" version at the LGS today. If it wasn't so busy, I probably would have bought it. As it was, I was looking at an hour wait just to talk to a salesman.
But that's okay. I keep telling myself I don't need one of these. I just want it because it would be fun. As for the power argument, I already have a Blckhawk in .45Colt/.45ACP. Plus other magnum revolvers. I just like the caliber. I already have a good supply of 10mm brass, and 5-gallon buckets full of .40 brass. It's on the "because I can" list. To those who don't care for it, that's okay too. Shoot what makes you happy. |

To the naysayers, nobody buys a single action revolver for it's speed of reloading. They harken back to an era when things were simpler and life was lived at a slower pace. I own many "faster to reload" swing out cylinder revolvers, but then speedloaders or full and/or half moon clips are required. That is more complex than single action handguns, and adds the additional possibility of issues with headspace and prying cases from the clips. To each his own.
Paladin eta: I did feel very smug when my 44 Special S&W 24-3 would throw 180 jhp's at 1000 fps, more or less 40 S&W territory... |
