What’s Included
- Soft case
This New Model example incorporates Ruger’s transfer-bar safety system and loading-gate interlock, paired with the strong single-action mechanism the Super Blackhawk line is known for. The wide, serrated hammer spur and wide, serrated trigger provide positive control during cocking and firing.
Built on an alloy steel frame with a matching alloy steel cylinder and barrel, the revolver wears a high-polish blued finish highlighted by the Southport rollmark. The unfluted six-shot cylinder and Dragoon-style square-back trigger guard with the elongated Super Blackhawk grip frame deliver the model’s distinctive look and handling.
Iron sights include a ramped front and a fully adjustable rear, offering a clear sight picture suited to the .44 Magnum’s capabilities. The 7.5-inch barrel length provides ample sight radius and balances well with the Super Blackhawk grip frame.
This revolver is chambered in .44 Remington Magnum and also accepts .44 Special, adding flexibility for different loads. The aftermarket smooth white two-piece grips with a brass escutcheon screw are non-factory and do not carry Ruger medallions, giving the gun a custom appearance while maintaining the core factory configuration.
Made in the United States in 1974, this revolver reflects the 1970s era of Ruger production with its high-polish blue and classic Super Blackhawk features.
