.45 Blackhawk

I was seriously considering purchasing a new Ruger SA revolver.
But I'm not going to spend the money for a new revolver, then spend the price for a cylinder reamer to ream the throats nor send it out to have the throats corrected.
That's something Ruger should have done right when they built the gun.

I am right there with you Bob. I have danced that dance before and am not interested in doing it again. Ruger ought to have corrected this a LONG tine ago.
 
My new Flattop convertible had .450 throats on both cylinders, just got them back from being reamed to .4525. My .45 Blackhawk from the early 90's had the same problem. You would think they would have addressed this problem by now.
 
I don't believe Ruger will address the problem, not as long as people keep buying the guns and paying someone to correct the problem for them.

There's no doubt Ruger could correct the problem, I'm sure it would add a little bit of time and cost to the end product.

However Ruger would just pass the cost on to the consumer, so their bottom line would not really be at a loss.

I have one of the New Vaquero's I purchased used and it definitely has cylinder throat issues, I doubt I'll spend the money to correct it.

I much rather spend my time shooting my Cimarron (Uberti) that does not have cylinder throat issues and has a much sweeter trigger and this is the way it came right out of the box (take note Ruger).
