What’s Included
- Ruger Old Army .44 stainless revolver (KBP-7) with 7.5 inch barrel
This KBP-7 configuration pairs a 7.5 inch stainless barrel with a brushed stainless frame, cylinder, and receiver. The six-shot, single-action-only design reflects Ruger’s modernized take on a percussion revolver, grounded in Blackhawk-style engineering for consistent handling.
The unfluted percussion cylinder is roll-marked "BLACK POWDER ONLY" and incorporates safety notches between chambers. A hinged under-barrel loading lever and captive plunger simplify charging and seating projectiles.
Sighting is handled by a ramped, pinned front blade and an adjustable square-notch rear, giving the shooter clear, tuneable iron sights. Smooth walnut grip panels with Ruger medallion inlays provide a classic feel and secure hold.
Manufactured/shipped in 1988 per Ruger’s serial number table and made in the United States, this example also bears the Southport, Conn. barrel address warning. Catalog code is KBP-7 for the stainless, 7.5 inch adjustable-sight variant.
