Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger New Blackhawk for sale
What is the main difference between the Ruger Blackhawk and the Ruger New Model Blackhawk?
Old Model Blackhawks lack a transfer bar safety, requiring an empty chamber under the hammer for safe carry. New Model Blackhawks, introduced in 1973, added the transfer bar, allowing all six chambers to be loaded safely. Both share the same frame size and grip compatibility.
What is the Ruger New Model Blackhawk 45?
Ruger's New Model Blackhawk is a single-action revolver chambered in .45 Colt or .45 ACP. Convertible versions include interchangeable cylinders for both calibers. It features a transfer bar safety, six-round capacity, and sells around $749. Currently in production with 11 variants available.
Is the Ruger Blackhawk worth it?
Worth depends on your needs. Blackhawks excel for hunting, range shooting, and home defense across multiple calibers including .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .30 Carbine. Reliable, durable single-action revolvers typically around $749. If you want a versatile, proven revolver, yes—if you need modern ergonomics or higher capacity, consider alternatives.
When did the New Model Blackhawk come out?
Ruger introduced the New Model Blackhawk in 1973. It added a transfer bar safety mechanism that prevents firing if dropped with a live round in the chamber, distinguishing it from the earlier Old Model design.
Does the Ruger New Model Blackhawk have a transfer bar?
Yes. The Ruger New Model Blackhawk uses a transfer bar mechanism that sits between the hammer and firing pin. It only engages when the trigger is fully pulled, preventing accidental discharge if the revolver is dropped. This allows safe carry with all six chambers loaded.
How much does a ruger 44 Magnum Blackhawk cost?
Ruger .44 Magnum Super Blackhawk revolvers carry an MSRP of $1,099 new, though secondary market prices average around $785. Standard Blackhawk variants may differ. Prices vary by retailer, barrel length, and condition. Check GunBroker or local dealers for current listings.
Can the Ruger Blackhawk shoot other rounds?
The Ruger Blackhawk is chambered in specific calibers. A .357 Magnum model can also fire .38 Special rounds since they share the same bore diameter. Some models accept conversion cylinders, allowing additional calibers. Otherwise, each revolver is limited to its designated chambering.
What is the difference between the Ruger Blackhawk and the Vaquero?
The Blackhawk has adjustable rear sights for precision shooting, while the Vaquero uses fixed sights styled after the classic Colt Single Action Army. The standard Vaquero and Blackhawk share the same frame size. Only the later New Vaquero features a reduced frame. Both are single-action revolvers chambered in similar calibers.
