Ruger Blackhawk

Planning a bachelor party in Budapest and looking for ways to spice it up a bit? Budapest is famous for its nightlife, but a true stag party should be a full day of fun. Here are a few tips on how to make the day unforgettable!

Bring All Your Friends Together

Some guys like it wild, some prefer a laid-back vibe, but a great bachelor party brings everyone together. Maybe you and your crew don’t go out every weekend like you used to as life gets busy after college. Some of you might be married already, others working hard to build your careers. That’s why it’s important to take every chance to reconnect and forget your everyday worries. A stag party is the perfect excuse to even hit up the groom’s old high school buddies and make it a night to remember.
But is it really just one night? Nope, definitely not. A bachelor party can kick off in the morning, or if you want to go big, make it a whole weekend getaway. Sure, drinking is a big part of the fun, but it’s also worth adding some extra activities to the plan. Just be creative with it!

How Do I Start?

If you’re the lucky one organizing the event, there are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind. First, know the groom’s style. Is he a party animal or more of a laid-back guy? Plan accordingly – whether that means going wild or keeping it chill. Otherwise, things could get awkward fast.
Next up: the budget. Don’t stress if you can’t go all out – there are plenty of things to do in Budapest on a budget. Once the date is locked in and the destination is picked, send out the invites and get the party rolling!

Get an Airbnb or Rent a Boat

Once you’ve nailed down the date, make sure to book your accommodations early. Budapest has tons of options. Hotels, hostels, and Airbnb rentals all over downtown. But if you’re trying to save some cash, it might be worth booking ahead.
Also, if you’re coming in the summer, why not check out Lake Balaton? You could even rent a boat for the weekend and level things up.

Make a List of the Best Bars and Restaurants

Whether you’re craving traditional Hungarian food or sticking with international cuisine, Budapest has it all. From top-notch restaurants to craft beer bars, downtown is packed with options. Plan your stops ahead of time so you won’t have to improvise at the last minute.

The Ruger Blackhawk is a 6-shot, single-action revolver manufactured by Ruger. It is produced in a variety of finishes, calibers, and barrel lengths. In the early 1950s, Westerns were popular in movies and television. Colt had discontinued the iconic Single Action Army prior to World War II, and few single-action revolvers were available to meet market demand for cowboy-style revolvers. In 1953, the new firm of Sturm, Ruger & Company introduced the Single-Six, a .22 LR rimfire single-action revolver. The Single-Six proved to be a popular seller, leading Ruger to develop and market a centerfire revolver similar to the Single Action Army: the Ruger Blackhawk. Ruger introduced the Blackhawk in 1955. Chambered for the .357 Magnum, the Blackhawk was a simple and strong design, and it sold well. In 1956, as Smith & Wesson was introducing the new .44 Magnum, Ruger quickly developed a variant of the Blackhawk in the new cartridge. Ruger achieved wide popularity with this firearm in a hotly anticipated new cartridge, which was both cheaper and more readily available than the Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver. According to popular legend, Ruger was able to field a .44 Magnum revolver at nearly the same time as Smith & Wesson due to a Ruger employee finding expended .44 Magnum cartridge cases at a scrapyard and deducing that Smith & Wesson was about to launch a new cartridge. The 1955–1962 Blackhawks are known today as the "Flattop" models, because their adjustable rear sights were not protected by "ears" extending up from the frame as later became standard. From 1962 through 1972, Ruger made the "Three Screw" Blackhawk in various calibers, so called by the number of screws visible on the side of the revolver. The Flattop and Three Screw Rugers were modernized compared to the Colt Single Action Army, in that they had adjustable sights instead of the Colt's fixed sights, and they used wire coil springs instead of the Colt's flat leaf springs. Bill Ruger chose coil springs due to their greater durability, saying that it solved one of the primary weaknesses of the Colt design. The early models of the Blackhawk still operated the same way as the Colt, in that the hammer was half-cocked to load and unload and that the firearm was not safe to carry with all six chambers loaded due to the hammer resting upon the sixth chamber. In 1973, in order to eliminate accidents occurring from the hammer jarring against a round loaded in the sixth chamber, Ruger introduced the New Model Blackhawk. The New Model Blackhawk did not require the hammer to be half-cocked for loading and unloading, and it employed a transfer bar mechanism which prevented the cartridge under the hammer from being fired without the trigger being pulled. The New Blackhawk was seen as limiting firearms accidents and legal liability. Ruger then began offering a retrofit program, offering free transfer bar conversions to earlier variants of the Blackhawk. It is worth noting that the Super Blackhawk is capable of operating with much higher pressure handloads than factory produced ammunition in .44 Magnum. Factory produced loads, such as Federal Champion 240 gr JSP loads are right around 800 ft-lbs muzzle energy. Loads in excess of 1200 ft-lbs muzzle energy are commonly produced by handloaders for this caliber and the Super Blackhawk can, in fact, handle more powerful loads than any .44 Magnum lever action rifle and substantially more powerful rounds than any double action .44 Magnum revolver. Buffalo Bore makes a heavy load that is in excess of 1500 ft-lbs muzzle energy. These facts make the Ruger Super Blackhawk one of the top choices for handgun hunting. It is capable of reliably taking down deer, elk, caribou, moose, lion, grizzly or brown bear and even cape buffalo. It is commonly used to deliver a coup de grace shot to mortally wounded large game, having the ability to dispatch even an elephant with a conscientiously placed point blank shot to the head. The wide availability of .44 Magnum cases and bullets make the .44 Magnum chambering far more practical than .454 Casull or .480 Ruger, while allowing for similar ballistics in custom loadings. The Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 Magnum is one of the most accurate big bore pistols for target shooting, typically returning 5 shot groups that are one ragged hole from a rest at 25 yards. Work is commonly performed on the action of these revolvers to give a light, crisp trigger pull, thereby contributing to accuracy.
