Built on Ruger’s New Model single-action platform with a transfer-bar safety, this Super Blackhawk uses stainless construction across the frame, barrel, and unfluted cylinder. The satin stainless finish complements the long 10.5-inch bull barrel, a configuration closely associated with precision handgun silhouette and hunting roles.
The revolver’s extended ejector-rod assembly is specific to the 10.5-inch variant, facilitating positive extraction. A ramped front sight is present. The factory adjustable rear sight is not present/obscured due to the installed scope base.
Optics are handled by a Bushnell 2-6x32mm pistol scope with a crosshair reticle and silver finish, mounted on an aftermarket silver base and rings. The scope carries the Bushnell "B" logo on the turret cap and includes lens caps. This setup provides variable magnification tailored for longer-barrel handgun use.
Ergonomics are enhanced with aftermarket black rubber finger-groove grips for a secure hold. Catalog designation is KS411N. This example is not the Hunter variant; it uses an add-on scope base rather than integral ring cuts. Made in the United States in 1988.
