Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
First introduced in 1955, the Ruger Blackhawk revolutionized the American sporting revolver market by bringing coil-spring durability, rugged all-steel construction, and modern adjustable target sights to the classic single-action frame layout. In 1973, Ruger updated the platform to the "New Model" configuration, introducing a patented transfer bar safety mechanism that allows the revolver to be safely carried with a full cylinder of six cartridges without fear of accidental discharge if dropped. Celebrated for its indestructible strength, crisp single-action trigger break, and target accuracy, the New Model Blackhawk chambered in .357 Magnum remains an essential sidearm for trail defense, target marksmanship, and handgun hunting.
This specific example is an authentic Sturm, Ruger & Co. New Model Blackhawk bearing serial number 38-31826, manufactured in 1999 at the Newport, New Hampshire facility. Chambered in versatile .357 Magnum (and safely firing all .38 Special loads), it features the desirable 6.5-inch barrel length, factory satin blued finish, micro-adjustable rear target sight, and smooth hardwood western grips set with gold Ruger eagle medallions. Displaying well-preserved blued metal finishes, a mirror-bright bore with sharp rifling, tight cylinder lockup, and smooth mechanical timing, this late-1990s Blackhawk is a turn-key .357 Magnum revolver ready for the shooting range, trail carry, or placement in any Ruger collection.
