What's Included
- Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk .44 Rem Magnum revolver
The New Model Super Blackhawk is built on a robust steel frame with a blued finish and the standard 7.5-inch barrel, delivering the classic long-barrel balance many shooters prefer in a .44 Magnum. Its unfluted six-shot cylinder underscores the model’s distinctive look and purpose-built design.
Sighting is handled by Ruger’s adjustable rear square-notch unit paired with a ramp front sight featuring a serrated face and a pinned blade, offering a crisp and consistent sight picture. The topstrap is smooth without Hunter-style scope ring cuts, confirming this is not the Hunter variant.
The New Model action incorporates a transfer-bar safety and a loading-gate interlock, with single-action operation and an exposed hammer. A full-length ejector rod housing with a grooved ejector rod button supports positive case extraction.
This example is customized with an aftermarket one-piece black rubber finger-groove wraparound grip for secure handling. It chambers .44 Rem Magnum and also accepts .44 Special, adding flexibility for range sessions. Additional model notes include that it is not the Bisley or Hunter variant, and the 82- serial prefix indicates circa 1978 production in the United States.
