Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger Blackhawk Convertible for sale

What is a Ruger Blackhawk convertible?

A Ruger Blackhawk Convertible is a single-action revolver that ships with two interchangeable cylinders, allowing you to fire two different calibers from one gun. Common pairings include .357 Magnum/.9mm and .45 Colt/.45 ACP. Swapping cylinders requires no tools.

What revolver shoots 357 and 9mm?

Several revolvers handle both calibers with swappable cylinders, including the Ruger New Model Blackhawk Convertible, Charter Arms Mag Pug Combo, Taurus 692, and Korth Carry Special. All chamber .357 Magnum and 9mm Luger.

Is the Ruger Blackhawk good for self-defense?

Ruger Blackhawk revolvers work for defense given their reliability and powerful calibers like .357 Magnum or .45 Colt. However, single-action operation requires manually cocking the hammer before each shot, making them slower than double-action pistols. Better suited for home defense or hiking than concealed carry.

What's the difference between a Ruger Blackhawk and a Super Blackhawk?

The Super Blackhawk features a square-back trigger guard, a wider hammer spur, an unfluted cylinder, and a Dragoon-style grip frame designed specifically for .44 Magnum recoil. The standard Blackhawk uses a smaller grip frame and trigger guard, and is chambered in calibers like .357 Magnum, .30 Carbine, and .45 Colt.

How much is a Ruger 357 Blackhawk revolver worth?

Ruger Blackhawk revolvers in .357 Magnum average $683.24 new and $560.33 used. Most used models sell for $200–$500. Rare or collectible examples can exceed that range depending on condition and age.

Is a .357 more powerful than a 9mm?

Yes. .357 Magnum generates roughly 600 ft-lbs of muzzle energy versus 340 ft-lbs for 9mm. It also achieves higher velocity. However, 9mm offers faster follow-up shots and higher magazine capacity, making it a practical defensive choice despite the power difference.

How accurate is a Ruger Blackhawk?

The Ruger Blackhawk typically produces 4-5 inch groups at 100 yards for most shooters with quality ammunition. Its single-action trigger, tight tolerances, and adjustable sights support consistent accuracy. Performance varies by barrel length, caliber, and load selection.

Is Black Hawk made in the USA?

Ruger manufactures the New Model Blackhawk revolver in the United States, primarily at facilities in New Hampshire and Arizona. Other "Black Hawk" branded firearms exist from makers like Charter Arms and Taurus, each with different manufacturing locations.
