Manufacturer: Sturm, Ruger & Co. Type: Revolver Model: Super Blackhawk Caliber: .44 Magnum Barrel Length: 7.5 Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 3265 Serial Number (S/N): 81 - 08421 Reference Number (Ref #): N/A Notes: This revolver is a Sturm, Ruger & Co. Super Blackhawk single-action revolver chambered in .44 Magnum. The Super Blackhawk was introduced in 1959 as Ruger’s heavy-frame variant of the Blackhawk, specifically engineered to handle the pressures and recoil of the .44 Magnum cartridge. Production year range: Ruger revolvers utilize a serial number prefix system. The “81-” prefix corresponds to Super Blackhawk production beginning in the early 1970s. Serial number 81-08421 places manufacture in the early-to-mid 1970s. Without factory letter documentation, a more precise year cannot be conclusively stated within that range. The revolver is fitted with a 7.5-inch barrel and built on Ruger’s large-frame single-action design. It features a blued steel frame, barrel, and cylinder. Operation is single-action only, with an exposed hammer and a loading gate on the right side of the frame for individual cartridge loading and unloading. Sighting equipment consists of an adjustable rear iron sight paired with a fixed front blade, allowing for elevation and windage adjustment. The revolver is fitted with smooth hardwood grip panels and a wide trigger characteristic of the Super Blackhawk model. Chambered in .44 Magnum, typical factory loads are capable of producing substantial muzzle energy suitable for handgun hunting, metallic silhouette shooting, and outdoor use, depending on ammunition selection. Included with the revolver is a soft handgun case. Condition appears very good. The blued finish shows light surface wear consistent with careful use, and the grips exhibit minor handling marks. The bore appears clean under visual inspection, and no major cosmetic defects are observed.
