Information

The Ruger Blackhawk is a famed single action only revolver first built by Ruger in the '50s. 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.
