Taking a new and/or different approach to reviewing the Ruger Blackhawk however, presents a genuine challenge. With so much history, reviewing a product that’s been around for 60 years – and nearly 40 years in its current model – should be comparatively easy, and I eagerly accepted this assignment. Consider that this firearm is used primarily in recreation and sporting activities, so notwithstanding sidearm duty for some rural western lawmen, it’s participation in the enormous market for Military and Police arms has been miniscule. Yet this firearm was engineered and manufactured so well that demand for vintage original “Flattop” and “3-Screw” models, as well as the “New Model” and current line extensions, is as great today as ever before. Trying to come up with another product from the mid-1950’s in the durable goods category that even approaches the track record of the Blackhawk would result in mental exhaustion. Though not without a few changes along the way, this is nonetheless a remarkable record for this venerable six-shooter. The Ruger Blackhawk Single-Action Revolver has been in continuous production for 60 years.
