Specifications Custom Long Barrel 45 Colt/45 ACP Blackhawk over Standard Ruger Single-Six 9.5 inch barrel Ruger provides the transfer bar safety upgrade free of charge for owners of any old model Single-Six, though this may come with a significant trigger-feel penalty. The transfer bar safety allows the revolver to fire only when the trigger has been pulled. Prior to 1973, the Single-Six was produced without the transfer bar mechanism, making it less safe to carry with all six chambers loaded, and with the hammer resting on a loaded chamber. The term "New Model" simply means that this model includes Ruger's transfer bar mechanism for increased safety, allowing one to carry the revolver safely with all six chambers loaded.

and thus was never meant to be a "convertible" ass the 22 magnum did NOT come to being until 1959, when the bore became. Welcome to the forum, good info above and yes its a very nice early 'flategate) RSS5,, the name meaning the loading gate on your gun ( the early guns ) was made ' flat' so as to not be confused with a Colt ( that has always been MY take on the reason "why") but soon to be found that was hard on the fingernails to open it to load and unload.a company called Premiere, made a replacement, rounded, loading, a bit longer that what was to be the "standard or norm" so Ruger did their own and was used from then on, sometime in 1957.nice gun, and the hard rubber (plastic) grips on your gun have turned to a shade from brown due to sunlight ( ultraviolet rays) or maybe even just getting "dry".wipe them down with a good oil or grease and the may darken up.many folks 'like' this brown shade.another thing to keep n mind is being your gun is a very early one, the bore diameter is on the smaller ( tighter) side.
