Is this loaded in the same way as the SAA? --Taurus96 21:12, 2 February 2011 (UTC).

• Well that would depend. The old model Blackhawks were loaded in the same manner as the Colt SAA series, which involved moving the hammer back to the first click to unlock it, and the old loading method of "load one, skip one, load four" was used because they predated the modern transfer bar. The new model series of Blackhawks are different and one simply needs to open the loading gate. Unfortunately the click of the cylinder turn doesn't line up with the open gate. --Ballistics_Expert2

Is there a way to visually identify the "new" models? User: 2wingo

• Yes there is. The "old" models have three screw on the sides while the "new" models have two pins instead.

Is it just me, or is a porno film included in the Blackhawks filmography? --Jackbel 21:22, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I think you're right, wasn't John Holmes that guy was the porn star involved in the Wonerland Murders? That one where those guys came and beat the people's heads in with the metal rods? Nasty shit.... --ColonelTomb 00:05, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
