Re: OK - one MORE reason to buy a Para Ordnance...
Makes me feel kind of bad now........I nearly ordered a single stack, commander sized 1911 from Para and at the last minute opted for the Ruger SR45 because I reasoned I was getting too set in my ways (revolvers and 1911 make up nearly all my handguns) and I should try something different. Oh well.....

Re: Ruger old model blackhawk value ?
I have the same revolver in well used but not abused condition and I was offered $600 for mine last summer and the fellah said he would have offered me more if he could have afforded it because they are almost impossible to find to complete a collection.

Instead of an AR why not a Ruger Mini 14? Less Mattel and more Garand in function and appearance.
I guess there are some really good deals on Mini 14s because the AR-15 explosion has really taken much of its market share.
