Overview: Ruger Flattop Single-Action Revolver
The Ruger Flattop single-action revolver chambered in .45 Long Colt with an included .45 ACP convertible cylinder delivers robust performance and ammunition versatility for the discerning shooter. Engineered for reliability and consistent function, this revolver integrates classic aesthetics with modern manufacturing precision. The stainless steel construction ensures durability and corrosion resistance, suitable for rigorous use across various disciplines, from target practice to field applications.
Key Features
Caliber Versatility
This model is supplied with two cylinders, enabling immediate conversion between .45 Long Colt and .45 ACP. This capability significantly broadens ammunition sourcing options and cost-effectiveness, allowing the user to adapt to different scenarios without compromising projectile energy or firearm integrity. The changeover procedure is direct and secure, ensuring consistent lock-up and bore alignment for both calibers.
Construction and Durability
Constructed from stainless steel, the Flattop frame and components offer superior resistance to environmental degradation and wear. This material selection contributes to the revolver’s longevity and structural integrity, maintaining operational parameters through extensive firing cycles. The robust design is a cornerstone of KFF Defense’s expectation for hard-use firearms.
Ergonomics and Handling
The traditional Flattop frame design provides a low-profile sight plane, while the 4-5/8 inch barrel length balances maneuverability with a sight radius optimized for accuracy. The “Ivory” grip panels provide a consistent, secure hold, enhancing user control and recoil mitigation during rapid or sustained fire. The single-action mechanism offers a predictable trigger pull, critical for precision shot placement.
Precision and Performance
Ruger’s manufacturing processes ensure tight tolerances, resulting in consistent cylinder-to-bore alignment and reliable lock-up. This mechanical consistency is fundamental to achieving repeatable accuracy. Fixed sights are precisely regulated for practical engagement distances, delivering clear sight picture acquisition under varied lighting conditions.
