Ruger, having made part of their mark on the industry with Interchangeable calibers, has hit upon a terrific idea with the .40 caliber family. As you know, the .40 S&W is a common and versatile cartridge while the 10 mm is a very powerful and high velocity cartridge. This new revolver is also available, I have read in the original 40 caliber cartridge, the 38-40 Colt. These three together, in the same revolver, offer both nostalgia and modernity which has been the true hallmark of the famed Blackhawk model.
I should add that the .40 caliber family is far more versatile than the .41 caliber family of one. The 10 mm auto is, I suspect, slightly more powerful than the .41 Remington Magnum of which I have been a fan for decades. Versatility is a revolver's hallmark characteristic but only if the cartridges, like 32, 38, 44 and 45 support it. It appears the .40 caliber family is a new addition to that broader family of revolver cartridges supplanting the 41 which was never developed as it should.
Another advantage is that the 40 caliber family is chambered in the venerable Blackhawk rather than the larger Super Blackhawk. Blackhawk revolvers are available in a variety of barrel lengths and there are also a very wide variety of holsters for them.
In the mid 1980s, I wrote to Remington, which developed the 41 Remington Magnum at the behest of noted firearms expert and champion pistolero, Bill Jordan, to produce a "41 Remington Special." As you must know, nothing came of it.
I am a handgun hunter and have a couple of custom Rugers single action in 44 mag; 41 magnum and a 510 GNR by the Arizona gunsmith Gary Reeder. They are very accurate and a delight to shoot. This convertible Blackhawk seems very desirable. I really like the 10 mm for hunting.
I have my blackhawk 10/40 on order. I reload for both cartridges but some days I just don’t want to look for the brass in the weeds. This should make those days more enjoyable. Thank you for the review.
Congratulations on the message sir. Here in Brazil in 2016 we lose 437 police brothers and no one in society or our corrupt government cares. Only our families. we have fewer inhabitants than in the United States and an average of 400 policemen killed each year. Greetings and fraternal embrace of the Brazilian friend. Excelente video. Arma incrível..
May God bless you, your family, your fallen officers and their families. I have two small children and I have taught them to pray for every police officer, firefighter and paramedic on Earth when they say their goodnight prayers.
Nice. Favorite still my super Blackhawk with no damn transfer bar. When Ruger came up with the fix years ago they offered to install it free so most people sent their guns in or had local gunsmith do it. Problem is they would not give you the parts back so I said the hell with it and now I have a gun that is worth a whole lot more than all the converted ones. Paid $50 in 1974. Coworkers dad had a pair. Made $1.60hr at service station so only bought the one. Silly me. Less than 100 rds and like new. This gun more than any other got me into a hand loading pistol cartridges. Started with rifles then shotgun presses. But could really save a bunch loading 500 44s at a time. Incredibly accurate out past 100 yards. But you must carry five or if you carry six always make sure you're between cylinders just in case. Friend of mine's uncle was Tio Sam Myres of SD Myres Saddle Co in El Paso. We both got rigs from them before they went away and became El Paso Saddlery. Really have to suck in hard now to get it on all these years later. Just being able to slip into that beauty easily should be enough incentive to get me to drop 20 pounds. Love that they have it in a 10 mm now and may look into one. Great review as always.
I have one old model Ruger single six in my collection that was minted in the early 1960's - which was also never modified. Now it's worth considerably more than one that had been modified.
I know I'm late to the party (i.e. this video) but I'm so glad I'm not the only who has thought of semi auto mags as loaders for a blackhawk. I own the .357 mag/9mm version. LOVE IT! I get confused looks all the time when those at the range see my gun belt/rig with my blackhawk and then a double mag pouch with glock mags when I dont have a glock on my belt heehee 😏
@@Icarryone One question, Wonder why we can't shoot 40 s&w out of the same cylinder as the 10mm. Like shooting a 38 special out of 357 mag, same cylinder..
@@johnganshow5536 Rimmed cartridges like the .38 special / .357 magnum head space on the rim of the case. Therefore, they can be used in the same cylinder chamber. Cartridges like .40 S&W and 10mm are "rimless" and head space on the mouth of the case and require two different length chambers.
Thank you for the review of this 10/.40 Ruger revolver! I am always curious about how they work out practically. It is good to hear the good news. That is a beautiful revolver.
Great review Sir, I have a Ruger Single Six Stainless convertible, I have wanted to get a matching centerfire also. Thanks for showing this outstanding firearm.
When I brought this revolver home, my wife said, "I see you've bought yourself ANOTHER birthday present." My reply, "I certainly did." That's when she tossed me the zinger - "By all accounts, I'm pretty sure that places you somewhere around 160 years old."
The magazine to revolver for reloading is brilliant. I can’t wait to train this and if it turns out to be as useful as I think it will, I’m looking forward to teaching this as well. But time will tell. Outstanding video. I’m NEVER sorry I subscribed.
The Idea of using a magazine to load rimless cartridges into a revolver simply illustrates that it takes a basically lazy individual to come up with an idea that reduces work.
Stainless six shooters are one of my favorite. Rosewood and stainless are perfect together. Nice addition to your already great collection! Maybe someday you will have to make a video showing the entire collection. Probably be a long video. :) Thanks for sharing!
Knew about the gp100 but don't like it because the trigger breaks so far back. I Had no idea these existed in 10mm, so glad you posted. I can live out my cowboy fantasies in the best caliber now. Greetings from Reno.
Greetings my good man ! While I have been a fan and subscriber of your channel for a long time, I have not took the time to thank you for your efforts. Your content is presented in a clear, comforting, and humorous manner. This presentation is no different. I chose to respond to this video because...... Pez dispenser, speed loader ? Infreaking'credible ! Once again, thank you for your time and willingness. Be well, JB
I just love the Rugers single action pistols. I hunt with several of them. Have them in 44 Magnum, .357 Magnums, .41 Magnum and a few wild cats. This new edition with cylinders in 40 S&W and 10 mm seems very desirable. I always like to have a trigger job done on my Rugers to bring the trigger pull down to 3 lb and attain a creep free break. Life is good. PS. I would like to see that pistol in a hunter model, with cuts on the barrel for the Ruger rings and be able to mount a low power scope without messing with the rear sights. My eyes are not as good as it used to be.
I like this weapon but makes me wish it was also available with a 41 magnum cylinder as well. Not really sure about The diameter difference but I have seen convertibles between 45 ACP and 45 colt. We all know that 45 ACP is .452 and 45 colt is .454 which is a negligible difference but when it comes to lands and grooves it could mean a great bit of difference it cut in properly to handle both Loads.
Sir, do you think it would be possible to buy a third cylinder from Ruger for this gun? I just bumped into an older cartridge called the 10MAG that should fit the length of the cylinder after reaming. It's just like the 10mm but .200 longer. 200gr bullet at 1500.
@@Icarryone I just found a fellow here on RUclips that converted a Ruger GP100 to shoot 10mm MAG, the GP100 uses moon clips and with them he shoots 40 S&W, 10MM and 10MAG after the cylinder conversion. I think I want one...……..LOL
I have this revolver in 4 5/8th inch and really love it. How can you not love it? Thanks for the tip with using a magazine to help load it as I also have a Glock 40 gen4 mos and this will be handy while out shooting. 10mm ROCKS!!!
My son is also a veteran who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. He is now an Arizona police detective assigned to the Pinal County Sheriff's Office. I couldn't be more proud of him.
Icarryone I understand completely your pride in your son ! As a bonus, my son works at the same VA as I do . I work there as a plumber/ pipe fitter . I get to see him all the time .

I got this notification... yay! 10mm baby
Glad you actually got notified! Thanks for showing up my friend.
What a beautifully crafted gun.
It certainly is.
Maybe a range video on this one ? Would be fun.
I'll be uploading some range video when I do the update review on this Ruger. I want to evaluate its performance with a wide variety of ammo first.
Wow, what a beauty. So cool. Revolvers are special.
What's not to like about a good revolver.
Single Action in 10mm. Now that sounds fun. She sure is pretty.
It also shoots as good as it looks - very accurate revolver.
Great, now I need one.
👍🤠

It sure is an excellent shooter.

It's good to see you back posting a video again. And I love that BlackHawk!
Yeah, vacation is over and now it's back to the grind.
They do a great job looks good my friend crank that handle and have fun
Will do.
Also, when shooting a revolver you will save money being 40 and 10 aren't cheap
Shooting .40 rounds out of this revolver does reduce the cost of plinking.

I wonder why they didn't make it a 10mm and 38-40 instead of 10mm 40S&W or a cylinder for all three.
Ruger made a short run of 10mm / .38-40 Blackhawk's some time ago. Pretty hard to find now.
If you can already shoot .40 in the 10mm cylinder, why do you need another cylinder for the.40 round?
@@derrickjohns8516 You can't shoot 40 in a 10mm Blackhawk cylinder it would fall to deep into the chamber.
