RUGER Blackhawk Flattop .44Spl Single Action Revolver, Limited Production
Description: Ruger Blackhawk Flattop .44Special Single Action Revolver, Limited Production, 6 Shot New in factory packaging. The Ruger Flattop 44 Special revolvers caused quite a frenzy when initially released! In 2005, Ruger introduced the 50th anniversary Flattop 357 Magnum to commemmerate their first centerfire revolver. It was built on the smaller Colt Single Action Army size frame, the same that the original Flattop 357's were made on. This makes for a handier, lighter packing size sixgun. Starting in 1974, Ruger changed to the New Model Blackhawks and incorporated the transfer bar safety. They also started building all the Blackhawks on the larger frame size including the 357 Magnum. For 30 years, if you wanted a "mid-size" frame Ruger Blackhawk you had to acquire one of the Old Model 357 Magnum Blackhawks. Noted gunwriters like Skeeter Skelton and John Taffin popularized the converting of Old Model Blackhawk 357 Magnums to 44 Special as Ruger never chambered this cartridge, instead just making a larger frame 44 Magnum. So in 2005, Ruger created quite a stir when they re-introduced the mid-size frame, albeit in the New Model format. In late 2008, Ruger agreed to do the exclusive with a healthy mimimum of 2000 pieces. It was a big committment for Lipsey's, especially with the market conditions of the time. We were just starting the great "Black Gun" frenzy started by the new presidential administration and we worried that a 100 year old caliber single action revolver might get lost in the mix. Loyal fans believed that this gun would do well and needed to be done. It was decided to do two barrel lengths. The 4-5/8" was a no brainer, as most of the Old Model conversions have that barrel length and a 5-1/2" model too, as guys who had conversions with the shorter barrel might be more inclined to buy a 5-1/2" instead of duplicate their custom gun. Also, there are enough shooters out there who appreciate and need the extra sight radius. Some thought the 5-1/2" barrel length gun would be a dud, but once they started shipping it was at times more requested than the 4-5/8"! So it was agreed to do a minimum of 1000 4-5/8" and 1000 5-1/2" barrel guns. 250 of each barrel length were to be delivered each quarter for the year. To say that the response was positive would be an extreme understatement. Numerous writers and editors requested samples for articles. In the year of AR rifles and high capacity plastic frame pistols, these single action revolvers chambered in a cartridge that has been declared dead numerous times were some of the hottest guns of 2009. Quite a few owners of these guns report how well they shoot and how well finished they are. Ruger really put these together right. The throat dimensions are very uniform and sized right. Ruger currently makes other flattop models with Lipsey's but these have not been made since 2010. They truly are special guns and if you have been on the fence about getting one, give it a try, you won't be sorry.
