Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger Carryhawk for sale
What is a blackhawk worth?
Ruger Blackhawk revolvers average around $712 new and $660 used, with New Model Blackhawk versions averaging higher. Actual listings often fall between $649 and $760. Price varies by caliber—.357 Magnum and .45 Colt are common. Check current listings for pricing on specific configurations.
Will a 45 Colt stop a grizzly bear?
.45 Colt can work for grizzly defense when loaded with heavy hardcast bullets in a strong-frame Ruger, but it's marginal. Larger calibers like .44 Magnum or .454 Casull are more reliable. Shot placement is critical. A .45-70 rifle or bear spray statistically offer better outcomes.
Is 45LC more powerful than 45 ACP?
Yes. Standard .45 Colt factory loads typically produce around 400–500 ft-lbs of energy, compared to roughly 350–400 ft-lbs for standard .45 ACP. Heavy .45 Colt handloads can exceed 1,000 ft-lbs, making the gap even larger. However, standard factory loads are fairly comparable.
Why is .45 Colt so expensive?
.45 Colt costs more because it sells in far lower volumes than mainstream calibers like 9mm, so manufacturers produce less and spread fixed costs over fewer rounds. The large-diameter case also uses more brass and powder per round than smaller cartridges.
What do Alaskans carry for bear defense?
Alaskans commonly carry bear spray or large-caliber firearms for bear defense. Popular handgun choices include revolvers chambered in .44 Magnum or .454 Casull. Bear spray is widely considered more effective in most encounters. Rifles and shotguns provide greater stopping power when working in remote bear country.
Is 45 LC enough for deer?
Yes, .45 Colt will cleanly kill deer at typical hunting ranges under 100 yards. It has sufficient energy and penetration for whitetail with factory loads, though heavier handloads improve performance. Keep shots within your accurate range for reliable results.
