Ruger has a limited run of Flatop 44 Special Blackhawk revolvers being made for Lipseys' as their exclusive. Not sure how many are being made, but will be available in 4 5/8 and 5 1/2 inch barrel lengths. Over the years many who desired a 44 special in a Ruger single action have converted the 357 mag. blackhawks to 44 special by having them rebarreled and cylinders reamed to 44 cal. dimensions. It appears that this exclusive run for Lipseys' has created a waiting list for the Ruger collectors. Mine should be in tomorrow.
