Ruger New Model Blackhawk .44 Special
The New Model Blackhawk .44 Special, circa 2010, is a six-shot, single-action revolver in the Flat-top design.
A New .45
A couple of years ago, the Louisiana-based firearms distributor Lipsey’s put together a contract with Ruger to produce a Blackhawk Flattop .44 Special revolver. Seems they took notice that quite a few original Flattops in .357 Mag. were making their way to custom revolversmiths to be converted into the better caliber.
Why I Love the .44 Special
My first centerfire handgun was a Smith & Wesson Model 27 in .357 Mag. The versatility of the cartridge, along with its capability of handling less-expensive .38 Special ammo is what lured me to this revolver.
