Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger Blackhawk 357 Stainless for sale
Is the Ruger Blackhawk worth it?
Worth depends on your needs. The Blackhawk 357 Stainless is a standard Blackhawk, distinct from the Super Blackhawk, which is primarily a .44 Magnum model. Shooters value the adjustable sights, reliable action, and magnum power for hunting. Single-action operation requires practice. Most owners consider it a solid choice for hunting or sport shooting.
How much is a blackhawk worth?
Ruger Blackhawk revolvers average around $711 new and $660 used, with New Model Blackhawks typically selling in the $400–$600 range. Prices vary by caliber, barrel length, and condition. Note that the Super Blackhawk is a distinct model and commands different pricing. Original discontinued models can attract collector premiums.
When was the Ruger 357 Blackhawk made?
Ruger introduced the .357 Magnum Blackhawk in 1955. The original model ran through 1973, when Ruger replaced it with the improved New Model Blackhawk, which continued production. Stainless steel New Model Blackhawks arrived in 1974. Over 39,800 original-model units were manufactured. Our marketplace carries both old and new model examples.
What is the difference between a Ruger Blackhawk and a Super Blackhawk?
Super Blackhawk features a larger Dragoon-style grip frame versus the standard Blackhawk's smaller SAA-style grip. The Super Blackhawk chambers .44 Magnum exclusively and typically has an unfluted cylinder, except the 5.5" barrel version which has a fluted cylinder. The Blackhawk is available in multiple calibers with a fluted cylinder.
What are the different models of the Ruger Blackhawk 357?
Ruger offered the original .357 Magnum Blackhawk from 1955 through 1973, then introduced the improved New Model Blackhawk in 1973. Both came in various barrel lengths of 4.625, 6.5, and 7.5 inches. Stainless steel versions were also produced, though the exact introduction date is unconfirmed.
What is the best barrel length for 357?
Barrel length depends on intended use. For hunting, 6 to 8 inches maximizes velocity and accuracy. For concealed carry or home defense, 3 to 4 inches balances power with practicality. Most .357 revolvers need at least 3 inches to meaningfully outperform .38 Special loads.
