Blackhawk 7.5 inch convertible

[bigbillyboy]

Does anybody know when model 0456 , 7.5 inch 45colt / 45cap convertible was last produced ? Thanks .

I'm assuming you are talking about the New Models.

Many of the Blackhawks were put on hold during the pandemic when a lot of the employees were out with covid. They are slowly getting back into production. And I do believe they are still listed as a current production model.

Yes ,New model . But it is no longer listed on ruger.com.

I just went & checked Ruger's page. You are correct,, none CURRENTLY listed. But once things get back into full swing,, you could easily see a return to them.

Not sure Ruger has manufactured the 7 1/2" guns for a while and doubtful you will see them in the future UNLESS they are a distributor exclusive, almost all of the Blackhawk production is now 5.5 or 6.5" barrels.

They havent to my knowledge manufactured any new vaqueros in 7.5" barrel configurations….but i may have missed an exclusive or two..

Correct and correct
I think Davidson's had the exclusive on both the 7-1/2" .45 Blackhawk and New Vaquero, but they've not offered those for a while now. Wouldn't be surprised if they eventually do another run though.
