The Sturm Ruger Blackhawk, 3-Screw Unconverted model in .357 Mag, is a highly regarded single-action revolver known for its robust construction and classic Old West design. Manufactured in 1972, this particular model is notable for its "three-screw" frame, referring to the screws visible on the side of the revolver which characterize early versions before Ruger's redesign in 1973 that included a transfer bar safety system. The blued finish adds to its classic appearance, and having the original case enhances its value and collectibility. This revolver holds six rounds and is cherished by both shooters and collectors for its craftsmanship and historical significance within the Ruger lineup.
Overall, this revolver is in very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use. The frame and cylinder have light scratches, but the bore is in excellent condition with a clean, mirror finish and sharp lands and grooves. The action is single-action only (SAO), and the revolver has a 4.5" barrel. The smooth hardwood grips with Ruger medallions complement the blued finish perfectly, providing a timeless aesthetic and comfortable handling.
Included in the sale is the revolver itself, which features a front ramp sight and an adjustable rear sight. This 1972 classic is a piece of American history, proudly made in the United States and embodying the durability and reliability that Ruger firearms are known for.
