Ruger Blackhawk .500 Linebaugh

Description

John Linebaugh philosophy:

“We are a custom sixgun shop dedicated to the old school sixgunner. We follow the theories of Elmer Keith and John (Pondoro) Taylor. Theirs was one of big bullets, so is ours. Bullet weight and caliber are constants in external ballistics; velocity is a constantly diminishing variable. I believe high velocity to be a superb killer if placed with exact precision, and if it reaches the inside of the animal. But without exact placement, it lacks the penetrating qualities and thus it wastes its energy in flesh wounds. The big bullet does not have these shortcomings. It will penetrate fully from any angle, thus letting the hunter take shots with confidence that he would otherwise pass up with a ‘little’ gun. I for one do not like big guns, just big bullets. With this in mind we offer models and ideas to the old school sixgunner.

Remember, old school to us is powerful, practical, and packable.”
