Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum 7.5" Revolver – Color-Case-Hardened Frame, Stag Antler Grips
This Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk stands out with an aftermarket color-case-hardened frame and genuine stag antler stocks bearing Ruger eagle medallions. Chambered in powerful .44 Remington Magnum, the 7.5-inch barrel variant (catalog 0802) was produced in 1981 according to its 84-prefix serial number, yet remains in solid shooting shape. The combination of classic single-action operation, transfer-bar safety, and premium cosmetic upgrades makes this full-size revolver an eye-catching choice for hunters, shooters, and Ruger collectors alike.

What’s Included
- Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk revolver (7.5" barrel, .44 Rem Mag)
The aftermarket color-case-hardened finish gives the steel frame, loading gate, and receiver vivid blues, purples, and ambers that set this revolver apart from standard blued models. The work appears professionally executed and evenly applied.
Factory-correct alloy-steel barrel and cylinder retain their original deep blued finish, complementing the case colors while guarding against corrosion. Ruger’s adjustable square-notch rear sight teams with a ramped, pinned front blade for precise elevation and windage control.
Genuine stag antler stocks, each fitted with a silver-and-black Ruger eagle medallion, provide a distinctive look and a natural, tactile grip surface. The grips are well-fitted to the frame with no noticeable gaps or wobble.
Internally, the Super Blackhawk retains Ruger’s transfer-bar safety and loading-gate interlock, allowing safe carry of six loaded chambers. The single-action trigger breaks crisply, typical of the model, and the revolver readily chambers both .44 Magnum and milder .44 Special loads.
At 7.5 inches, the barrel length optimizes velocity and sight radius, making this Super Blackhawk a capable hunting sidearm or range revolver while maintaining classic Old West styling.
