The Power Custom Free Spin Pawl allows shooters to take advantage of being able to rotate the cylinder in either direction for easy reloading. Works when the gate is opened. Gunsmith fitting required. Redesigned pawl enables faster and easier loading/unloading of Ruger single action revolvers. Holds the bolt away from the cylinder locking notches when the loading gate is open, so the cylinder can rotate freely in either direction. No need to spin the cylinder around again if you miss a click and go too far; makes it easier to set an empty chamber under the hammer.

Hello. I have a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44Mag with the 4 5/8' barrel. I have always wanted a free spin cylinder and didn't know if anyone else has had this modification done? If so, did you do it yourself and how difficult was it? I have experience changing out hammers/mainsprings/mag releases on semi-autos, but not much with altering a SA revolver. Any input would be great.

It's very easy. Do a search on the topic. I've done it without even disassembling the gun. I just used a Dremel on the last couple I've done. Just don't take too much off. BTW, nice looking iron you have.

I've actually got an extra free spin pawl that was in a SBH if you want it.
PM me your mailing address and I'll send it to you. It should drop in but sometimes they do require some fitting but very 'do able' by anyone with an ounce of patience.

I have a Ruger SS Bisley .45 Colt/.45 ACP Convertible. I had it in to my local Pistolsmith for a trigger job. I furnished this web site information (see Tellico above) to him and asked him to either do this one or fit a Power Custom.
After looking at the web site, he did my gun and told me that would be his new 'standard' as it was easier than fitting a new Power Custom Pawl.
It works as intended. I actually prefer the new Ruger pawl set up as done on the New Vaquero and the new Flattops but the free spin is considerably better than stock, in my view.
It is a worthy addition.

Once you do the free spin pawl you're halfway to the New Vaq and FTs.
Just add the pawl, spring and retaining screw. Less than $10 in parts and all you have to do is drill one small hole and tap threads in it.
