Ruger Blackhawk

Introduction

The Ruger Blackhawk is a successful modern version of the traditional single action revolver dating to the last century. It offers a wide variety of calibers and uses, from plinking to hunting. You will find its new Vaquero version very popular at Western Shoots and reenactments. Since the early 1960's, the Blackhawk has been built on the Ruger XR-3Red frame. This one piece steel frame is also the basis of the Ruger Vaquero, the Single Six (.22) and the Ruger Old Army black powder revolvers. Since all these revolvers use the same frame, the grips are interchangeable.

Because the grip frame is a solid investment casting, the Blackhawk frame does not have the fitting problems of the traditional Colt-style three piece single action frame. One fitting note however: the frame pin is rolled, so the grip hole lip might need chamfering with a knife. Press the panel on with your hands. Don't use the screw to pull the panels together down onto the frame.) The grip screw will pull through the grip.) After the panels are flat on the frame, snug up the screw.

Standard Styles & Materials

We offer grips for the Blackhawk (and the frame related revolvers) in both the revolvers Classic Panels and Oversize Finger Grooves. Altamont makes the Classic Panel style in the SuperWoods and Bonded Ivory. We offer the SuperWoods in smooth or Low Profile Checkered. Bonded Ivory is made in smooth and Checkered. We produce Replica Black only in Checkered.

The Oversize FingerGrooves grip provides the shooter a firmer feel and better control. The revolver does not roll up in the hand with the recoil. These features are important in big bore hunting and target shooting. Altamont makes the Oversize Finger Grooves style grip in the three SuperWoods, both smooth or with Low Profile Checkering.

Scrimshaw and Engraving

Scrimshaw really enhances a single action, particularly a blued frame. Most designs are placed on the right hand panel in the gun owner's choice of black and white or color. Engraving is always done on both panels.
