Collector Notes

The Old Model three-screw Blackhawks represent an important chapter in Ruger's history. Manufactured before the introduction of the New Model transfer-bar action in 1973, these revolvers feature the traditional four-click single-action lockwork that many enthusiasts prefer.

The .357 Magnum chambering was among Ruger's most successful offerings and helped cement the Blackhawk's reputation as one of the strongest single-action revolvers of its era.

Examples with longer barrels, attractive original finish, and unaltered configuration remain highly desirable among Ruger collectors and shooters alike.
