Trying to help a friend whose husband passed away. Need to sell Ruger Blackhawk revolver. Best I can tell, it appears to be a Model 5244, 357 Mag.
She's looking for paperwork. Sell to someone in the DFW area. I'm in Farmersville, so north/northeast DFW area preferred. She has been told it should be worth about $350. Includes good western style belt & holster and 80 rounds of ammo.
Email me for pictures. <

Negative, no 9mm cylinder. I shot 6 rounds through to make sure it works properly.

1. Might want to mention age and barrel length... Looks like the 5244 is the 4.6 version.
2. MSRP on the 2-cyl version is $929. Gunbroker sales start at almost double the $350 price.... Is it in good condition? Would hate to see a recent widow give up $$ on a nice gun.
Good on you for helping...

Barrel is 4.62" Nice condition. Don't know exact age. She said he had it for about 30-35 years.
Thanks

I bet it would bring a lot more than $350. It's awesome you are helping her.

Ruger 357 is sold. I took it down to the Local Gun Shop, and they made me a decent offer.
He told me that they get calls for things like this pretty regularly. He gave me $100 over "blue book".
