This Buckeye Sports series Blackhawk is a factory convertible revolver with two six-shot cylinders, chambered for .32-20 Winchester and .32 H&R Magnum. The barrel measures 6.5 inches per the Buckeye edition specification, and the top strap carries the Buckeye leaf-and-nut emblem as part of this distributor-exclusive run.
Built on a steel frame with a polished blue finish, it pairs a blued steel cylinder and cold-hammer-forged steel barrel for durability and consistency. Smooth walnut grips with silver Ruger medallions complete the classic single-action profile.
The action is single-action with Ruger’s transfer-bar safety system, allowing safe carry with all six chambers loaded. Loading is via a side-loading gate, and a full-length ejector housing with a crescent-pattern ejector head aids positive case extraction.
Sights include a serrated ramp front blade and an adjustable square-notch rear, giving clear sight alignment. Manufactured in the USA in 1989, this limited-edition Blackhawk combines collectible markings with practical, caliber-flexible performance.
