Inc Type: Revolver Model: Super Blackhawk Caliber: .44Mag Barrel Length: 6.75" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 2567 S/N: 81-21280 Ref #: N/A Notes: This is a Sturm, Ruger & Co., Inc. Super Blackhawk revolver, a robust single-action firearm crafted by Ruger, likely produced in the late 1960s or early 1970s, with its origins traceable through Ruger’s records for added historical value. Introduced in 1959 as an evolution of the original Blackhawk, the Super Blackhawk was designed to handle the powerful .44 Magnum cartridge, offering a beefier frame and unfluted cylinder for big-game hunters and revolver enthusiasts. Its design reflects Ruger’s rise as a leader in American firearms, often celebrated for blending Old West aesthetics with modern durability. The revolver features a 6.75-inch barrel, providing excellent accuracy and velocity, paired with a 6-round cylinder built for heavy loads. Weighing approximately 48 ounces (1.36 kg), it’s equipped with factory iron sights—no optics included—maintaining its classic, rugged profile. Chambered in .44 Magnum, a legendary cartridge pioneered by Elmer Keith, it delivers a muzzle velocity of around 1,200 to 1,400 feet per second with standard loads, offering unmatched stopping power for hunting or target shooting. The single-action mechanism requires manual cocking, delivering a crisp trigger pull true to its cowboy heritage. Presented in very good condition, this Super Blackhawk showcases its well-preserved state—a standout for collectors or shooters seeking a near-pristine example of Ruger’s iconic design with serious firepower. The .44 Magnum caliber remains a benchmark for power and versatility, making it a go-to for field use or display. Historically, the Super Blackhawk gained fame through its association with rugged outdoorsmen and even Hollywood, often seen as the quintessential big-bore revolver.
