  BASIC CHANGE WAS THE ADDITION OF THE HAMMER BLOCK ALSO THE NEW MODEL HAS TWO PINS IN THE FRAME RATHER THAN THE THREE SCREWS. BOTH GREAT GUNS.
  
  I WOULD RATHER BE DUCK HUNTING.

  The new model has a transfer bar, not a hammer block.The entire internal lockwork system is different. The old models operate exactly like the old Colt SAA revolvers. The new models on the otherhand can be carried safely with 6 rounds in the cylinder. To rotate the cylinder for loading/etc you open the loading gate as opposed to simply bringing the hammer to half cock as on the old models. Triggers are a little better on the old models and the grip frame is slighly different in its dimensions. The only exception to the above is the new model Ruger Bearcat which has a transfer bar, but operates in the same manner as the old models.
