It’s hard to think how the Single Action Army could be improved, but Ruger found a way to do it.
Shooters, in turn, more than responded.
The Blackhawk was and is one of the all-time most popular guns to roll off the company’s assembly line.
What made it popular, aside from the Western movies of the day, was the single-action’s ability to digest magnum rounds.
Originally chambered for shooters favorite .357 Magnum, a .44 Magnum model soon followed.
The old original “Flattop” models are the apples of collectors’ eyes.
But for plain old shooting fun, the newest models rolling off the line are a worthy addition to any gun safe.
