Quoted: Too light on the details. I think it's just another anti-gun story written prematurely. The anti's are gonna love it. Nah. Some dipshit carrying a $175 pistol in his waistband dropped it and popped some guy in the head, an 'oh shit' moment ensued and he tried to walk away. Stories about guns being dropped and going off are pretty common. The bullets don't usually home in on someone's melon, though. |

Quoted: older blackhawks are NOT drop safe.. they can be retrofitted by ruger to have a transfer bar added, but factory condition they are not drop safe.. Yep very true. Whenever I see a story about a gun being dropped I think Ruger Blackhawk I saw one drop all of 2 feet maybe less and it went off and shot the foundation of someones house. Glocks are spoiling us. You can let 6 Brazilians play a round of soccer with a loaded Glock. |

I've personally seen an older edition Ruger Blackhawk hit the asphalt from a 2 foot fall and fire. Yeah, there's a reason why they used to only load single action revolvers with 5 rounds. im sure some of ya have heard the expression "5 beans in the wheel" |

Nobody knows this anymore. It should be second nature to anyone that owns a Single-action revolver. |
