Why this RUGER NEW MODEL BLACKHAWK stands out

The New Model Blackhawk line cemented Ruger’s reputation for durable single-action revolvers. This specific piece, with its blued finish and wood grips, reflects period-correct aesthetics and practical handling. The serial number (33-64441) confirms its 1970s origin, making it attractive to collectors who prioritize authenticity and condition notes such as light muzzle and carry wear.

Barrel length and accuracy

The 6.5″ barrel provides a longer sight radius than standard revolvers, aiding precision for target work and deliberate shooting at practical ranges. Paired with .357 Magnum capability, the platform balances stopping power and controllability—ideal for range enthusiasts who reload or shoot heavier factory loads for match-style accuracy.

Condition and maintenance considerations

Visible muzzle and carry wear indicate this revolver was used but cared for. Blued finishes with wear are common in vintage pieces; a gunsmith inspection is recommended before use to verify timing, lock-up, and cylinder gap. Wood grips offer a classic feel and can be preserved or swapped depending on your restoration goals.

Price is set at $675.99, reflecting collectible value combined with functional serviceability. For those ready to add a period single-action to their safe, this example is priced competitively. Shop this product
