I got a new Ruger Blackhawk yesterday. It is chambered in 45 Colt and has an extra 45 ACP cylinder. I can hardly wait for a trip to the range. Looks like the best of both worlds. I was at the Houston Gun Show this week end. I had a great time! There was 10 in our group and we all made firearm purchases.

I had a Ruger Blackhawk .44Mag about 10 years ago, I wish that I had not ever sold that gun. It was a great gun!
I think that you are going to be very happy with the Blackhawk, what is the length of your barrel.
 
Ken,
It has a 5.5" barrel. I already have a Super Redhawk and Super Blackhawk in .44mag but I wanted the .45 Colt as well. I really like the idea of being able to shoot .45ACP also.
I just wanted to stick my chest out a little. Thanks for responding.

You will absolutely love the 45/45 Ruger convertible. It is absolutely the most fun gun in my collection to shoot and reload for. Good shooting:)
 
The convert's do let you use up your .45 components in a relaxing way. Shot mine today on this down size rabbit target two handed at 25 yards. This would make a pretty good rabbit revolver if I could avoid those 6 o'clock and foot shots. The hits would probably be effective on rabbits since the 250 grain rnfp is doing 945fps over 8.5 Unique.

When that song started around we were about 13 but already into reloading. Cracked up and said -he must have been using 2400 and tarbaby lubricant.
