Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Introduced in 1973 as the modernized evolution of Ruger's iconic single-action line, the New Model Blackhawk incorporated Ruger's patented transfer bar safety mechanism, enabling safe, full 6-round loading directly beneath the hammer. Engineered around a virtually indestructible solid stainless steel frame, the Convertible variant added unprecedented caliber flexibility—allowing shooters to alternate between heavy-hitting .45 Colt hunting loads and economical .45 ACP target ammunition simply by swapping out the drop-in 6-shot cylinders. The 5.5-inch barrel configuration in brushed stainless steel has long been considered by Western hand gunners as the ideal balance point between sight radius and quick holstering agility.
This exact revolver, serial number 47-41412, was manufactured at Ruger's Southport, Connecticut plant in 1991. Chambered in .45 Colt with an interchangeable extra 6-shot .45 ACP auxiliary cylinder included, it features a 5.5-inch stainless barrel, all-stainless steel frame construction, micro-adjustable rear target sight, ramped front sight, transfer bar safety, and rich smooth rosewood grip panels inlaid with silver Ruger medallions. Presenting in excellent original condition throughout with clean brushed stainless steel surfaces, tight cylinder lockup on both fitted cylinders, a mirror-bright bore, and a crisp single-action trigger break, this 1991 Ruger New Model Blackhawk .45 Colt/.45 ACP Convertible is an ideal addition for Western single-action enthusiasts, handloaders, or Ruger revolver collectors.
