Don't know how you missed them, they're there. The standard Blackhawk is listed on the Ruger sight, but the flat Top can only be found on Lipsey's web sight.

Well, ah, yeah, anonymous insults notwithstanding, you should get one. I have had one for many years, loaded it from "cowboy" (no real cowboy would pack those) to "yer kidin'" knuckle busters. Wonderful versatile handgun.
The OP can always get one in blue:

And there's nothing disappointing with the glossy stainless New Vaqueros.

I have had them sold them and then bought them again. great guns, lots of fun and versatile. The 45 LC was actually referred to as the 45 Long Cartridge and was a Black Powder load. New 45 LC are smokeless with less powder volume. I liked to reload in BP. Lots of smoke and fire!!! I did this with a Stainless version so I could remove the grips and wash it in soapy water to clean it up. I did the same with a Ruger 44 Mag. With BP it shoots like a 44 Spl.

Where in the world did you read that?
Do they still make the old balloon head cases? I've read these are necessary to squeeze 40 grains of black powder in.
If so, will they work in lever rifles? Someone on this forum keeps saying they won't and that's why they weren't made back in the day.
I think he's wrong and Paco is right in the linked article, that Colt owned the patent and forbade it (way back in the day when it was still in force).

I found a non scientific test where a guy used a Rossi 92 45 Colt (he admitted had previously been problematic).
His conclusion was that once dirty extraction became unreliable. I wonder if you could say the same about a dirty 44/40 lever rifle with balloon head case black powder ammo.

I found one in .44 Special at the LGS yesterday. Limited edition stainless with the steel grip frame. One box of ammo fired out of it. It was then put away. The owner needed money for Christmas shopping bad so he put it in on consignment with a low ball sell fast price. I spotted them putting into the case.

Well Ok it was not the reason I bought it anyway. Though I am still going to shoot a ton of lead out of it anyway.
