Like the Colt, however, the early models were not safe to carry with all six chambers loaded because the hammer sat on the sixth chamber. In 1973, Ruger introduced the New Model Blackhawk, which used a transfer bar to prevent the cartridge under the hammer from being fired without the trigger being pulled. Also, the New Model Blackhawk did not require the hammer to be half-cocked for loading and unloading. The manual for this revolver is available at.

It differed from the Colt SAA, using adjustable sights. Ruger Blackhawk Convertible.45 Colt/.45 ACP Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc.’s Blackhawk single action revolvers are some of the most popular handguns ever sold in the U.S. And have been made in a bewildering variety of calibers, variations and barrel lengths. The Blackhawk began life in 1955 as a.357 Magnum revolver that was seen by many shooters, at least superficially, as a clone of the Colt Single Action Army and found immediate acceptance among American gun enthusiasts. William Batterman Ruger, being a classic car enthusiast, decided to name his new revolver the Blackhawk because of his affinity for the Stutz Blackhawk automobile. The lockwork, as originally designed, was similar to the Colt SAA in that it was not possible to carry the gun safely with six cartridges loaded in the cylinder. These early guns are normally referred to as “Old Model” Blackhawks but they have also been dubbed “three screw models” by collectors for the distinctive look created by the 3 screws that hold in the various parts of the action. A major redesign in 1973 resulted in the New Model Blackhawk, a gun that had changes made to its lockwork, including the incorporation of a transfer bar and the elimination of the three screws. As a result, it is possible to safely carry a New Model Blackhawk with six rounds in the cylinder. As far as I know, owners of “Old Model” Blackhawks can still have them sent to Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. For a retrofit that will convert the revolvers to use a transfer bar mechanism similar to the ones used by the New Model Blackhawk. One of the lesser known but more versatile variations of the Blackhawk are the convertibles chambered in.45 Colt/.45 ACP. The revolvers come with two cylinders, one for the.45 Colt and the other for the.45 ACP, giving shooters the option of shooting either cartridge with a quick change of the cylinder. One of the Ruger Blackhawk’s greatest attributes is its strength and in this respect, it puts the Colt Single Action Army to shame. Although the Colt SAA was chambered for the.45 Colt cartridge, it was never offered in.44 Magnum, unlike the Blackhawk which was. The.44 Magnum Blackhawks had cylinder frames that were slightly larger than the.357 Mag. Blackhawks to accommodate the bigger cartridge but still used the same basic design. Bill Ruger mentions in R.L. Wilson’s Ruger & His Guns, pg. 41 that the first two samples produced of the.357 Magnum Blackhawk were in his own words, “fired with six 50% overload proof cartridges, one in each chamber and the guns handled these “blue pills” as though they were gallery loads.” The single action revolvers made by Colt in.357 Mag. Are perfectly safe shooting SAAMI spec. Loads but I wouldn’t want to try firing six proof loads in them as they are nowhere near as strong as the Blackhawk.
