The RUGER NEW MODEL BLACKHAWK CONVERTIBLE .45 COLT / .45 ACP 5.5" STAINLESS SINGLE-ACTION REVOLVER – MODEL 0472 combines the classic handling and rugged durability of Ruger’s legendary Blackhawk platform with the exceptional versatility of a dual-cylinder convertible revolver system. Chambered in both .45 Colt and .45 ACP through interchangeable cylinders, this stainless steel Blackhawk offers two highly respected .45-caliber cartridges in a single revolver platform.

At the heart of the Blackhawk Convertible system is Ruger’s tool-free interchangeable cylinder design. The included cylinders allow shooters to quickly swap between traditional rimmed .45 Colt ammunition and widely available semi-automatic .45 ACP ammunition without permanent modification or gunsmithing. This gives the revolver an unusually broad range of practical applications ranging from economical range shooting to heavy field and hunting loads.

The .45 Colt cylinder allows shooters to enjoy one of America’s most iconic revolver cartridges, long respected for its large bore diameter, heavy bullet weights, and excellent field performance. Meanwhile, the included .45 ACP cylinder provides access to abundant and economical ammunition that shares compatibility with many 1911 pistols and other .45 ACP handguns.

The revolver’s 5.5" cold hammer-forged barrel is widely considered one of the most versatile Blackhawk barrel lengths ever offered. It balances portability, sight radius, and ballistic efficiency exceptionally well while maintaining the lively handling characteristics that make single-action revolvers so enjoyable in the field and on the range.

Constructed from durable stainless steel, the 0472 offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in demanding outdoor environments. Hardwood grips complement the satin stainless finish while preserving the revolver’s traditional western-inspired appearance.

Like all New Model Blackhawks, the revolver incorporates Ruger’s modern transfer bar safety system, allowing safe carry with all six chambers loaded. Adjustable rear sights and a ramp front sight provide precise sight regulation for a broad range of ammunition types and bullet weights.

The Blackhawk platform has long earned a reputation among outdoorsmen, handloaders, hunters, and serious revolver enthusiasts for exceptional strength and reliability. Ruger’s robust frame design and coil spring internals are widely respected for handling extensive use and heavy field loads with outstanding durability.

Whether used as a trail revolver, hunting sidearm, ranch gun, range revolver, or collector-grade example of Ruger’s legendary single-action lineage, the New Model Blackhawk Convertible remains one of the most versatile revolver platforms ever developed.
