What size is the old 3-screw 45 Colt Blackhawk frame? Is it the same size as the new Blackhawk or the new Vaquero that Ruger just came out with this year? Thanks.

HUNTER_IN_AK,

I just saw your post, but here is the answer to the question.

The Old Model 3 Screw Blackhawk .45 is built on the larger frame. The same as the .44 Mags.
All the New Model .45s except the New Vaquero are also made on the large frame.

Hope this answers your question.

Joe

Thanks Joe. Did some research, read in the book THE BIG BORE HANDGUNS (?) by John T. and that's what he said, too.
