It comes with the engraved 45 colt cylinder and the fluted 45 acp cylinder
Yeah, we know this one does. I'm just having some fun with chet15 debating (tongue in cheek) the genesis of the "W" from back in 1986 when the Bisley models first came out. Those guns were all blue and all single cylinder but were available as either fluted cylinder models or roll-engraved non-fluted cylinders and for some reason, Ruger chose a "W" to designate the roll-engraved cylinder type.
Original fluted Blackhawk models were RB35, RB41, RB44, RB45 and the original roll-engraved models were RB35W, RB41W, RB44W, RB45W. All of the original Blue Blackhawks had 7.5" barrels and adjustable sights.
The .22 Single Sixes had 6.5" barrels and both fixed and adjustable sights, making for 4 models with fluted and roll-engraved cylinders. RB22, RB22A, RB22W, and RB22AW. The "A" meant Adjustable sights.
Pretty much the same story for the .32 H&R Mag Single Sixes, RB32, RB32A, RB32W, and RB32AW. These were also 6.5" barrel guns.
Later came the Bisley Vaqueros, the rare adjustable sight stainless Shootist Bisley Single Six, the Davidson's fixed sight stainless Bisley Single Six, and finally Acusport started making 5.5" stainless Bisley Blackhawks, their first was a single cylinder .45 Colt, followed by a .44 Mag, then the convertible .45's in several production runs, and the .357 with the black micarta grips. And now there are New Vaquero Bisley models and NM flattop Bisley Blackhawks.
