Description:
Ruger began to ship its .44 Magnum Blackhawk in November 1956, about eight months after S&W began shipping its fine double-action .44 Magnum revolver. By early 1957 production was in full swing and the new Blackhawk .44 was being shipped to distributors throughout the country. The new Blackhawk .44 Magnum was very similar in appearance to its .357 Magnum little brother. The gun was just built on a larger scale. The left side of the 3-screw cylinder frame was roll marked "RUGER BLACKHAWK", " .44 MAGNUM CAL.". It also has the Ruger trademark Eagle logo to the right of the cylinder frame rollmark. Not only would the gun handle the .44 Magnum Remington cartridge but the .44 Special or the .44 Russian cartridge could be fired in this revolver. The gun had the same style "flat top" steel cylinder frame as the earlier .357 Blackhawk. This is, of course, is where the term "Flattop" comes from that commonly identifies these guns today among gun folks and collectors. It had an integral adjustable steel "Micro" marked rear sight, six shot fluted cylinder, standard "dull" polish blue finish, and aluminum alloy black anodized Colt style and size grip frame (marked XR3). It also had a no-collar base pin and long throw offset-slot steel ejector rod housing like its .357 brother. The very early .44s also had the rather uncomfortable small square serrated ejector rod button used on the Single-Sixes and .357 Flattop. Some of the early guns also had the checkered black hard rubber grips like on the .357 Blackhawk. This was in contrast to the first advertisements stated "Including walnut grip panels" and "Grips: Genuine walnut, not checkered". However, the early production .44 Blackhawks did have a 6-1/2" barrel as opposed to the 4-5/8" barrel on the first .357s. .44 Magnum
