I just returned from a gunshow here in Atlanta. It
was terrible. However, I did see a custom made Ruger
Blackhawk with a non-fluted cylinder. It was a nine
shot .22 Hornet. This gun was engraved and embellished,
and I was in line to look at it. ($4,600.00) I asked
if Hamilton Bowen had made it. The jerk said Bowen
COULDN'T have made it! I was offended for HB and turned
and walked away. So did another guy. Bowen does
great work. This was a nice revolver. Another
cylinder in .218 Bee would have been nice.
