2026 Private Sale Value

Ruger Blackhawk Value — What Buyers Are Paying

The Ruger Blackhawk has been the working cowboy’s single-action revolver since 1955. More robust than Colt SAA reproductions at a lower price, the Blackhawk handles loads the Colt cannot. Pre-transfer-bar Blackhawks (pre-1973) are collectible. The convertible models with extra cylinders add versatility.

Typical Private Sale Range — 2026 (Good to Excellent)
Blackhawk .357 Mag: $500–$680 | Blackhawk .44 Mag: $540–$720 | Super Blackhawk .44 Mag: $580–$760 | Pre-1973: $600–$900
