Description:
**SOLD** Presented is a very nice and clean Ruger New Model Blackhawk single action revolver in ..357 Magnum. In the early 1950s, Westerns were popular in movies and television. Colt had discontinued the iconic Single Action Army prior to World War II, and few single-action revolvers were available to meet market demand for cowboy-style revolvers. In 1953, the new firm of Sturm, Ruger & Company introduced the Single-Six, a .22 LR rimfire single-action revolver. The Single-Six proved to be a popular seller, leading Ruger to develop and market a centerfire revolver similar to the Single Action Army: the Ruger Blackhawk. The Ruger Blackhawk was named after the Stutz Blackhawk automobile. The early models of the Blackhawk still operated the same way as the Colt, in that the hammer was half-cocked to load and unload and that the firearm was not safe to carry with all six chambers loaded due to the hammer resting upon the sixth chamber. In 1973, in order to eliminate accidents occurring from the hammer jarring against a round loaded in the sixth chamber, Ruger introduced the New Model Blackhawk. The New Model Blackhawk did not require the hammer to be half-cocked for loading and unloading, and it employed a transfer bar mechanism which prevented the cartridge under the hammer from being fired without the trigger being pulled. The New Blackhawk was seen as limiting firearms accidents and legal liability. This example is a New Model Blackhawk which has the transfer bar mechanism that allows safe loading and carry with all 6 chambers loaded. Made in 1976 this gun exhibits very little wear or handling marks. It looks like it may have been shot some but not much. The barrel has a good bore with strong rifliing. The walnut grips are very good with Ruger medallions on each side...there is one light pressure mark on the left side at the very top. Box, outer sleeve and papers.
