Offered for sale is a Ruger New Model Blackhawk .357 Magnum Revolver. The revolver features a six shot cylinder, 6 5/8" barrel, walnut grips, adjustable rear sights, and blue'd finish. 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. 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. This revolver shows good condition, with some wear from storage and use. The mechanics are tight and show little play. This is a modern firearm. FFL transfer or NICS background check required. The serial number is 34-77242
