The New Model Blackhawk platform delivers a robust, single-action-only system chambered in .357 Magnum with a six-round, fluted cylinder. This example pairs a 6.5 in barrel with a solid topstrap for dependable strength and balance.
Ruger’s transfer-bar safety and loading-gate interlock provide modern safety features while retaining the exposed hammer and traditional single-action operation. This revolver is a non-convertible configuration.
Sighting is handled by a fully adjustable square-notch rear set into the topstrap and a ramped front blade with a serrated face, offering a precise, glare-reducing sight picture.
The revolver wears a blued finish over carbon-steel components, complemented by a bright in-the-white hammer and a blued trigger. Walnut grip panels with Ruger eagle medallions complete the classic Blackhawk look and feel.
Controls and details include a full-length ejector rod housing with a grooved button, a right-side loading gate, and a base pin latch at the front. Made in the United States in 1984, it reflects the hallmark fit and features of the New Model series.
