The Ruger New Model Blackhawk Convertible revolver delivers robust single-action performance with exceptional caliber versatility. Engineered for shooters who demand classic form factor combined with modern cartridge options, this model is supplied with two interchangeable cylinders: one chambered for .45 Auto and another for .45 Long Colt. This configuration allows for rapid, tool-free conversion between cartridges, optimizing operational utility across varied shooting applications or for ammunition commonality with other firearm platforms.
Key Features
Convertible Caliber System
The core advantage of the Blackhawk Convertible lies in its dual-cylinder design. Users can seamlessly transition between .45 Auto and .45 Long Colt ammunition, providing significant flexibility without requiring specialized tools for cylinder exchange. This system enhances range utility and simplifies ammunition logistics for shooters who operate multiple .45 caliber firearms.
Robust Single-Action Design
Built upon Ruger’s proven New Model Blackhawk frame, this revolver incorporates a robust single-action mechanism renowned for its reliability and durability. The design integrates a transfer bar mechanism, providing an enhanced level of safety without compromising the traditional single-action firing sequence. The solid steel construction ensures long-term operational integrity under demanding conditions.
Precision Barrel Integration
Equipped with a 5.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, the Blackhawk Convertible is configured to maximize effective sight radius and inherent accuracy. The blued finish provides a traditional aesthetic while offering a degree of corrosion resistance, consistent with the rugged design ethos of the Blackhawk line.
Operational Versatility
This revolver addresses the practical needs of firearm enthusiasts and competitive shooters seeking a versatile sidearm. Its ability to accept both .45 Auto, a common semi-automatic pistol cartridge, and .45 Long Colt, a potent traditional revolver round, makes it a highly adaptable option for target practice, field use, or as a foundational piece in a diverse firearm collection.
