Ruger is a pretty squared away company in not only the firearms that they craft and sell to the public, but also their marketing.

Ruger has a new Lipsey’s Distributor Exclusive wheelgun with a Ruger Blackhawk Bisley .44 Special model that did receive the same fanfare one would expect. We are going to take a look at this single-action pistol today to see if it is something you may want to holster, or potentially leave behind. Let’s dive in!
