.357 Flattops, Just over 42,000

.357 "protected sight" 245,000

.30 Carbine, almost 33,000

.41 Magnum, just over 40,000

.45 Colt, 23,000

.44 SBH, 106,000

.44 Flattops, almost 30,000

The 45 Colt (along with the 45 acp cylinders) would likely be the least produced calibers. Due to popularity, they are not cheap when you find them either. But boy are they fun to have!

VERY interesting and thought provoking. I do believe the low production for the OM 45COLT sixguns is due to their being in production only two years before the NM blackhawks were introduced. I am stunned by how many OM 30CARBINE's were sold [ in 19 years ] as a Ruger guy once told me "we can't give the damn things away, we'll probably drop it."

.44 SBH, 106,000

.44 Flattops, almost 30,000

.45 Colt . . .

1970, 500, some disagreement about if they were actually shipped
1971, about 12,700
1972, about 8600
1973, about 1200, yes they were late-shipped

Thank you Mr. Dougan.

Actually, no Blackhawks were chambered for .44 Russian or .44 Special. They were chambered for .44 Magnum, the other rounds could be used in them. Same can be said for the .38 Special, the guns were .357 Magnum.

I know; picky, picky, picky.

If you are going to be picky, be picky about me using the reference on the Super Blackhawk as the post was on "What calibers were the old model 3 screw Blackhawks chambered"? :lol: :lol: :lol: Of course the Old Model .44 Mag. Blackhawks would shoot the .44 Mag. and the .44 special and the .44 Russian. And if you could shoot them in it and the factory says you can shoot them, then they must be chambered for it. What do you think???

I'd say they are chambered specifically to accept the .44 Rem Mag, but just happen to accept the Special and Russian rounds.

Same with the .357 Mag-chambered guns that just happen to accept the .38 Specials and perhaps some others.

And the 327 Mag that happens to accept .32 H&H and others.

Etc.

I agree with what you say 100%.

1970, 500, some disagreement about if they were actually shipped ==> they shipped, in December 1970. I have a number of them.
1971, about 12,700
1972, about 8600
1973, about 1200, yes they were late-shipped ==> the last one shipped in August, 1973. The latest one I have in my collection currently is May, 1973, with a couple in April, 1973.

Thank you Mr. Dougan.
