I've narrowed my first gun purchase to the Ruger Blackhawk .357 in stainless steel. I really like the way the shorter 4 5/8" barrell looks over the longer barrels. My local gunshop has a used 6 1/2 barrel in stock and I'm tempted to buy it. Anyone out there own one that can share some insight. Thanks.
