The '''Ruger Blackhawk''' is a famed single action revolver first built by Ruger in the '50s. It is basically a [[Colt Single Action Army]] "Peacemaker" with a beefed up frame and cylinder, coiled springs, elevated and adjustable sights. Post-1973 models also incorporate a transfer bar, allowing the hammer to rest on a loaded cylinder without the risk of discharging the firearm, as well as simplified lockwork. It is sold in a vast array of calibers from .30 Carbine, .41 Magnum, .45 Long Colt, .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum, to the most popular, .44 Magnum and .357 Magnum models.

It is basically a [[Colt Single Action Army]] "Peacemaker" with elevated and adjustable sights and a firing pin safety plate (also know as a transfer bar), so you can full load six rounds instead of leaving one chamber empty for safety. It is sold in a vast array of calibers from .30 carbine, .41 caliber, .45 long colt, .22 long rifle and .22 magnum and the most popular .44 magnum and .357 magnum models.
