The Blackhawks are older design, cowboy-style guns.

The cylinder doesn't swing out like modern revolvers to load and unload. Instead there's a 'loading gate' (that crescent shape just behind the cylinder) that swings down, allowing access to one cylinder at a time. You load it by swinging down the gate, inserting a round, rotating the cylinder one position and repeating, until all the cylinders are loaded.

These guns also unload differently. You can see the long tube attached to the side-bottom of the barrel (about 4 o'clock). That houses a spring-loaded rod that lines up with the loading gate.

To unload, you swing down the loading gate, then pull the rod back towards you. The rod pushes the empty case out of the cylinder and out the loading gate onto the ground. Once the case is ejected you rotate the cylinder and repeat the process until the gun is empty.

The Redhawks are more modern revolver designs, with a cylinder that unlatches and swings out to load or unload all the cylinders at once. You can tell these because the ejector rod (the rod you push to eject all the empty casings) is at 6 o'clock on these types of guns, since there's no loading gate to line up with.

If you are really interested in Revolvers, this is the book to start with...

Also redhawks are double action and blackhawks are single action.
