Built with a steel cylinder frame, barrel, and cylinder that wear a polished blued finish, paired with Ruger's aluminum-alloy XR3-RED grip frame with a black anodized finish. The 6.5 inch steel barrel, six-round fluted cylinder, and ejector-rod housing with crescent ejector button reflect the classic Blackhawk profile.
Sighting is handled by a ramped front blade and a fully adjustable square-notch rear. The single-action hammer and transfer-bar safety deliver the New Model firing system Ruger is known for.
