Just thought I'd post a pic or two. Very well balanced, 7 1/2" bbl 45acp/45 Long Colt convertible. Manufactured sometime in 1980. All original bluing..had sent this to Ruger to fix the gate spring or some such small piece. Sent it back within a few weeks, no charge at all.

I have the same one, but not the convertable, in 45 LC. it's one of my favorites. lot's of reloading data for that gun and a lot of fun to shoot. enjoy!
