Our Assessment: The Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk is a modern continuation of the classic American single action revolver, engineered to handle the power of the .44 Magnum cartridge while maintaining traditional styling and operation. Introduced as an evolution of Ruger's earlier Blackhawk line, the Super Blackhawk incorporates a heavier frame, improved grip geometry, and Ruger's transfer bar safety system, allowing safe carry with all six chambers loaded. Chambered in .44 Magnum, a cartridge introduced in 1955 and known for its substantial power and versatility, the revolver reflects the continued popularity of large caliber single action handguns for both sporting and recreational use. This 2022 example retains approximately 97 percent of its original stainless finish, with light handling and operational wear, some stubborn fouling, and equipped with a Hogue overmold grip to help tame recoil. The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling and rates 8-9 out of 10, showing some stubborn fouling.
This Super Blackhawk's 4 5/8" barrel and adjustable sights provide a quick-handling and accurate shooting platform, while the robust construction ensures durability under repeated use with full power loads. The .44 Magnum chambering offers a wide range of performance options, from moderate loads to more powerful configurations, contributing to its enduring appeal. This example stands as a clean and well preserved representation of Ruger's heavy frame single action revolver line, combining strength, classic design, and excellent overall condition in a highly recognizable platform.
