The Ruger New Model Blackhawk is a single action revolver built on Ruger's large frame platform, incorporating the transfer bar safety mechanism standard to all Ruger "New Model" single actions, which allows the revolver to be safely carried with all six chambers loaded. The Bisley variant features a grip frame profile adapted from the Colt Bisley target revolver of the 1890s, with a longer, more swept back grip and a lower, wider hammer spur designed to improve control during single handed cocking and firing. The Convertible configuration ships with two cylinders chambered in .45 Colt and .45 ACP respectively, providing versatility between the traditional revolver cartridge and widely available autoloader ammunition. The engraved cylinder variant pays homage to the original Colt Bisley with period themed decorative engravings on the unfluted .45 Colt cylinder.

This example is Ruger SKU 00472, featuring a 5.5 inch barrel with a satin stainless steel finish throughout. The revolver is fitted with a Bisley style grip frame with black laminate grip panels bearing the Ruger medallion inlay. The .45 Colt cylinder is an unfluted design with factory engraving consisting of "Bisley Model" text, a caricature of a man firing a revolver, floral scroll work, and a badge reading "1896 Revolver." The included .45 ACP auxiliary cylinder is a standard non-engraved cylinder. Sights consist of a ramp front sight and an adjustable rear sight. Original box included.
