This article is about the single-shot pistol. For the rifle, see Ruger M77.

The Ruger Hawkeye is a single-shot pistol chambered for the .256 Winchester Magnum cartridge, produced by Sturm, Ruger & Co. from 1963 until July 1964.[1] It was built on the same frame as the Ruger Blackhawk, but rather than having a rotating cylinder like a standard revolver, it featured a swiveling breechblock which allowed an individual round to be loaded and sealed into the frame.

The Ruger Hawkeye pistol was not a commercial success, and was discontinued after only 3,075 were produced.[1]
