The Blackhawk is Ruger's modern interpretation of the single-action revolver, and the Flattop is the more classically proportioned version — a mid-size frame with a flat-topped frame and adjustable rear sight, closer in feel to the vintage guns it descends from than the heavier standard Blackhawk.

This is a convertible model, shipping with cylinders for both .357 Magnum and 9mm Luger. That is genuinely useful: 9mm is available everywhere for practice, while .357 handles hunting and serious work. Stainless finish, 5.5-inch barrel and wood grips. Ruger's transfer bar safety means it can be carried with all six chambers loaded, unlike the originals.
