Ruger Revolver FLATTOP 45LC/45 ACP BL/IVY 5.5 5240 45 ACP | 45 Colt Barrel 5 1/2"

This Lipsey's Exclusive revolver is the first Ruger Blackhawk Flattop chambered in 45 Colt.

The mid-size Ruger Flattop sixguns are some of the finest packing guns ever produced. The original 357's and the wildly popular 44 Specials have been highly prized for their smaller dimensions and great balance. Now, you can have this classic revolver in the most classic sixgun cartridge of them all, the 45 Colt.

As a bonus, we spec'd out these guns to include an auxillary 45 ACP cylinder. This production run will also feature "gunfighter" style simulated ivory grips that Ruger has used on some of their special edition guns, such as the Joe Bowman commemorative. For those of you who don't like the "cheesegrater" (as some people call them) black plastic grips that have been included on the Flattops, this will be a nicer feel. The front sights on these 45 Colt revolvers are taller than the sights on the 44 Specials revolvers so that there is plenty of elevation available for various bullet weights. All parts, including the gripframe and ejector rod housing are made of steel and have a nice, rich, blue finish. Since we introduced the Flattop 44 Special in 2009, the 45 Colt version has been a constant request. We really believe that this gun, with the convertible cylinder, is one of the best all-around single action Ruger has ever made. If you agree, don't wait around too long on this one!

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this particular item.

The 45 Colt (45 Long Colt) was introduced in 1873 in Colt's Single Action Army. Adopted by the U.S. military in 1875, it served until 1892 when it was replaced by the less powerful (and unsatisfactory) 38 Long Colt. Originally loaded with 40 grains of blackpowder and a 255-grain bullet the 45 Colt produced about 900 feet per second for more than 400 foot-pounds of energy, a powerful handgun cartridge for its day--and any day. Using a .454-inch bullet, today's standard load retains the 255-grain bullet at 860 fps. Lighter bullets at somewhat higher velocities are available. 45 Colt was the most common chambering in Colt's single action. Today it is chambered in virtually all centerfire single-action revolvers and has been chambered in numerous large-frame double-action revolvers. 45 Colt is the most popular revolver cartridge in cowboy action shooting, and remains a powerful and effective personal defense cartridge, its only drawback being the necessity for a large revolver to house it. — Craig Boddington
