Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk .44 Rem Magnum Revolver, 7.5" Barrel, Polished Blue, 1981 Production
Made in 1981, this early New Model Super Blackhawk pairs Ruger’s robust single-action design with a 7.5" alloy-steel barrel and an unfluted six-shot cylinder.

The 7.5" barrel is the catalog standard for hunting applications, offering balanced weight and effective velocity for the .44 Rem Magnum cartridge. Combined with the unfluted cylinder, it helps moderate recoil while maintaining the revolver’s iconic profile.
Ruger’s transfer-bar safety system allows safe carry with all six chambers loaded, a feature that distinguishes New Model revolvers from earlier generations. The exposed spur hammer provides a positive thumb purchase for deliberate single-action cocking.
The aftermarket finger-groove hardwood grip is a single-piece design that fills the hand and guides consistent alignment under heavy recoil. Its neatly fitted contours complement the revolver’s dragoon-style square-back trigger guard.
Pinned serrated ramp front and fully adjustable rear sights deliver a clear, durable sight picture. Windage and elevation settings can be tuned precisely for specific loads, making the revolver ready for field or range use without additional work.
Serial prefix 84 places this revolver in the first full production block of New Model Super Blackhawks, adding early-production interest for Ruger enthusiasts.
