Information

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 caliber, .45 long colt, .22 long rifle and .22 magnum and the most popular .44 magnum and .357 magnum models.
