“in 1968 I bought a Ruger .357 Blackhawk”
When in college in TN I bought a Ruger 357 Blackhawk in 1968 also. Great gun. Still got it and carry it sometimes. Still in TN and glad Governor is pushing for Constitutional carry but wish he would close the state to receiving all the government transplants.
I’ve owned my .357 Ruger Security Six since 1975. Not my carry gun; my cowboy gun! A sweet shooter!
