The 7.5-inch stainless barrel is cold hammer-forged for durability and consistency. Fixed sights include a blade front and an integral rear notch, providing a simple, rugged sighting setup well-suited to the revolver’s single-action design.
Its high-gloss stainless finish extends across the frame, cylinder, and receiver for a cohesive look and corrosion resistance. The fluted cylinder has beveled leading edges, and the barrel is paired with a full-length ejector-rod housing capped by a crescent-shaped ejector-rod head.
The XR-3–style grip frame and wood grip panels with Ruger eagle medallions deliver a classic profile with solid purchase. A reverse-indexing pawl aids precise chamber alignment during loading and unloading.
Chambered in .357 Magnum with a 6-round capacity, this revolver also accepts .38 Special ammunition. Safety features include Ruger’s transfer-bar safety and a loading-gate interlock.
Overall length is about 13.5 inches with a weight of about 47 oz. The underside of the barrel is marked: "READ INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE USING FIREARM - RUGER, NEWPORT, NH USA." Manufacturer part number is 05170.
