Nice looking revolver. Your hammer looks to be factory however "jeweled" by a creative previous owner. Great find and welcome to the forum.

Nice...
Someone 'Jeweled' the hammer, and changed the grip frame to a blued steel 'Dragoon' style...
Super Blackhawk?
Hmmm...

Welcome from Nj where the government hates your guns. Nice revolver but I prefer new models for the xr3 red grip frame to me far more comfortable than colt style.

ok so after some fidling I have some questions
the hammer sometimes stick about a quater inch from where it's supposed to at rest when actuated by hand
Also when half cocked I can push the hammer and it will release.
Any thoughts? I am pretty mechanically inclined and work on my other guns. So i will e taking this one apart to clean when I do I will post pics of the parts

Someone may have put the 1/2 cock kit in it to make it function more like a Colt.

I thought the three screw Rugers always had the half cock. At any rate, that's dangerous, and should be looked at by a gunsmith.

I've never changed my Old Model 45 Colt Blackhawk over either, I just have the common sense to know the hammer goes down on an empty chamber. Just like a Colt SAA or the like. As such it's not the least bit dangerous and I only allow other's to shoot it under close supervision. By the way Oz Man, you've got yourself a fine looking Blackhawk, if you were here in the State's I'd try to trade you out of it :-)=.
