Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger Blackhawk 357 for sale

Is the Ruger Blackhawk a good gun?

Ruger Blackhawk revolvers are well-regarded for reliability, accuracy, and durability. The single-action design appeals to shooters who value simplicity. Available in calibers including .357 Magnum and .45 Colt, they retail around $752 and are widely used for hunting and target shooting. The .44 Magnum variant is a separate model called the Super Blackhawk.

What is the difference between a Ruger Blackhawk and a Super Blackhawk?

The Super Blackhawk features a larger Dragoon-style grip frame and heavier construction than the standard Blackhawk. Most models have an unfluted cylinder, though some variants like the 5.5" barrel version use a fluted cylinder. The standard Blackhawk is available in multiple calibers including .357 Magnum and .45 Colt.

Which is better, Ruger Redhawk or Black Hawk?

Redhawk is double-action with built-in scope mounts, suited for hunting with optics. It is heavier but absorbs recoil better, with the Blackhawk producing roughly double the felt recoil. Some users favor the Blackhawk for its stronger design. Choose Redhawk for scoped use and comfort; choose Blackhawk for traditional single-action shooting.

When was the Ruger 357 Blackhawk made?

Ruger introduced the Blackhawk in 1955 as its first centerfire revolver, chambered in .357 Magnum. That original model was produced through 1973. In 1974, Ruger released the redesigned New Model Blackhawk, a distinct updated version that remains in production today in calibers including .357 Magnum and .45 Colt.

What is the best barrel length for 357?

Barrel length depends on intended use. For concealed carry, 2–4 inches balances power and portability. For hunting, 6–8 inches maximizes velocity and accuracy. Most shooters consider 4 inches a practical all-around choice, offering good velocity without excessive bulk.

How much is a Ruger 357 Blackhawk 3 screw worth?

A 3-screw Ruger Blackhawk in .357 Magnum typically sells for $300–$600, with current auction bids around $505. Condition, barrel length, and finish affect value. Rare variants can exceed $1,000. Check recent sold listings on GunBroker for current market pricing.

When did Ruger stop making the 3 screw Blackhawk?

Ruger discontinued the 3-screw Blackhawk in 1973. That year the lockwork shifted from a Colt-style mechanism to Ruger's new transfer-bar system, and the frame changed from three screws to two pins. The updated New Model Blackhawk launched in 1974 and remains in production today.
