Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger 45 Revolver for sale

Does Ruger make a 45 Colt revolver?

Yes. Ruger makes the New Model Blackhawk Convertible in 45 Colt, a single-action revolver with interchangeable cylinders for both 45 Colt and 45 Auto. Currently in production with three variants available. Median price around $712, ranging $620–$982 across retailers.

Is the Ruger Blackhawk worth it?

Value depends on your needs. The Blackhawk earns praise for reliability across hunting, defense, and range use. At around $712, it's competitive for a quality single-action. Consider whether you want 45 Colt, 45 Auto, or the convertible cylinder model, which accepts both cartridges.

What is a Blackhawk worth?

Ruger's New Model Blackhawk Convertible averages $802.20 new and $635.61 used, with a 12-month new average around $767.39. MSRP runs $649–$759. Condition, caliber, and local market affect actual value.

How many Ruger Blackhawks were made?

Ruger has not published total production figures for all Blackhawk variants. Serial number records show New Model Blackhawk production began in 1974, but cumulative totals remain proprietary. Original "Flattop" models from 1955–1962 totaled approximately 42,000 units across all calibers.

What Ruger revolvers are single-action?

Ruger's single-action revolvers include the New Model Blackhawk, Blackhawk Convertible, Single Six, Single Seven, Single Nine, Single Ten, Wrangler, Super Blackhawk, and Bisley. These come in various calibers ranging from 22 LR to 44 Magnum.

Which Ruger revolvers are double-action?

Ruger's double-action revolvers include the GP100, SP101, LCR, LCRx, Redhawk, Super Redhawk, and the discontinued Security-Six and Speed-Six. These span various calibers and frame sizes, from compact carry guns to large-frame hunting revolvers.

How accurate is the Ruger 45 Colt?

Ruger's .45 Colt single-action revolvers are quite accurate. At 25 yards, five-shot groups typically run one to three inches depending on ammunition and shooting position. Handloads and trigger work can tighten groups further, making them reliable for hunting and target shooting.

What is the difference between .45 ACP and .45 Colt?

.45 ACP is a shorter, rimless cartridge designed for semi-automatic pistols, while .45 Colt is a longer, rimmed round built for revolvers. .45 Colt originally used black powder; .45 ACP uses modern smokeless powder. They are not interchangeable—each requires its specific firearm.
