Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk .44 Rem Magnum Revolver | 7.5 in Barrel | 1979 Production
Made in 1979, this New Model Super Blackhawk pairs Ruger’s rugged investment-cast steel construction with the proven power of the .44 Remington Magnum. The 7.5-inch barrel, rounded trigger guard, and standard rounded-guard grip frame give this single-action six-gun the classic profile collectors look for, while updated transfer-bar safety and adjustable sights add practical value for shooters.

What’s Included
- Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk revolver
Serial prefix 83 confirms production during Ruger’s late-1970s run in Southport, Connecticut, placing this revolver firmly within the desirable early New Model era.
The 7.5-inch alloy-steel barrel and six-shot fluted cylinder are finished in a deep blue, matching the investment-cast frame for a consistent, classic appearance that resists wear.
Pinned red-ramp front and fully adjustable rear sights offer a clear sight picture and easy zeroing, while the transfer-bar safety and loading-gate interlock provide modern safety without sacrificing traditional single-action handling.
Smooth walnut grip panels with Ruger silver-eagle medallions complement the standard rounded-guard grip frame and rounded steel trigger guard, giving the revolver secure purchase and period-correct styling.
Chambered for .44 Remington Magnum, this revolver also accepts .44 Special cartridges, expanding ammunition options for range use or field carry.
