I received a letter from Ruger many years ago offering the transfer bar modification to my Super Blackhawk. I chose not to have the gun modified, even though It is reversible. I just wanted It to remain original. I already had been loading only 5 rounds with the hammer down on the empty chamber, so It was no change for me. I don't see the need for that sixth round in a hunting S/A handgun, and when shooting at the range I am shooting 5 round groups anyhow.
