The Ruger Blackhawk 0306 is a single-action, 6?round .357 Magnum revolver that brings traditional western styling and modern safety together in a field-ready package, featuring a 4.63" cold hammer-forged blued alloy steel barrel, cylinder and frame for durability and long-lasting accuracy with a 1:16" RH twist and eight grooves. Its traditional western-style hand-filling black checkered rubber grip points naturally and reduces felt recoil for extended range sessions, cowboy action competition or classic hunting roles, while the ramp front and adjustable rear sights give target-grade sighting for paper, steel or practical shooting. Rugers patented transfer bar mechanism and loading gate interlock provide an extra measure of security against accidental discharge without compromising the exposed-hammer, single-action feel that collectors and shooters value in the Blackhawk series. At 42 oz. and 10.50" overall length this model balances shootability and carryability for field work or range days, and the blued finish resists wear while remaining easy to maintain. Massachusetts certified and requiring an FFL for transfer, the Ruger Blackhawk 0306 (00306) blends classic form, modern safety and accurate performance for shooters who want a dependable .357 Magnum revolver.
