    Ruger have stopped making the Old Army - I have one in Stainless with the 7 1/2 barrel - I really really like - a truly fabtastic pistol

    You should be able to pick one up second hand

    I have no comprehension why Ruger have stopped making the old army

    They made nearly four million of them and they don't wear out. Hence the used market is a wash with them and they really couldn't sell the new ones. Their plight was not helped by the fact that Italian made revolvers have umped in quality and are still selling at very reasonable prices, by comparison.

    A real shame considering that the perfect Old Army, stainless, fixed sights with a 5.5 inch barrel only came out recently! But at 650 quid you could get two Italian guns, flasks, cappers, cleaning kit, molds, balls and caps!!!
