The Ruger New Model Blackhawk Convertible revolver offers a versatile single-action platform, engineered to accommodate two distinct calibers. This design choice provides shooters with operational flexibility, allowing seamless transition between .45 ACP and .45 Long Colt cartridges. It is an optimized solution for those seeking the classic single-action revolver experience with enhanced ammunition compatibility.
Key Features
Convertible Caliber System
The primary utility of the Blackhawk Convertible lies in its interchangeable cylinder system. This model ships with two cylinders: one chambered for .45 ACP and another for .45 Long Colt. The design facilitates a tool-less cylinder exchange, allowing the operator to adapt the firearm’s caliber to ammunition availability or specific ballistic requirements rapidly. This integration expands ammunition compatibility without compromising the single-action mechanism’s inherent reliability.
Robust Single-Action Architecture
Maintaining the classic single-action operation, the Blackhawk Convertible delivers a proven and robust firing sequence. Its design adheres to established principles of durability and function, making it a reliable choice for target shooting, field use, or collecting. The traditional sight radius and manual cocking action provide precise shot placement control, consistent with the KFF Defense standard for utility and performance.
