Please DON'T take this comment as the final word: but, it's my understanding that the (blackpowder) Ruger Old Army is essentially the same revolver as the (nitropowder) Ruger Blackhawk: and those are very strong revolvers, so there should not be any trouble with REASONABLE nitro loads.

Interesting views on this thread as I'm looking to get a ROA aswell. As mentioned earlier I thought you had to have a conversion to use Nitro which also makes it look different aswell. If I was to go down the nitro route I think I would go with the Taurus as I have had a go with one, probably the nearest we will get to using/owning a proper pistol in this country.
Smurf me up!
If you want to see my ROA with both BP and Nitro cylinders - give me a shout - you are only just down the road
