No flinch on empty chamber. Kudos!

The 5 1/2 inch barrel is ideal for balance between velocity and barrel length.

Old school wheel gun and an old school beard. Rock out!

I have one just like that which I purchased some time ago and you're right, they are built like a Tank. I reload all my own ammo and with my Ruger firearms I have no issue with pushing the envelope a bit on the warmer side. Super accurate and the 7.5" model is even sweeter. Great video, thanks!

Great review; I have the 3.75” and love it!

Great revolver. Have the 4.62" with unfluted as you mentioned. Great shooter and beautiful piece. I like the weight, the feel and how it rolls in the hand. Enjoy & thanks for sharing.

I do not know whether your right handed or left-handed but in either case it doesn't matter. But cradle the firearm and your left hand and use your left hand to index the cylinder and that gun loads a lot easier with your right hand. These things are my favorite weapons, I actually own a 44 Blackhawk made in November of 1957 which is very light for a 44 Magnum. And I also own probably a dozen super Blackhawks old model and new. When you get into reloading you will notice that the Hard Cash key style bullet has a cantalore which will allow you to load Magnum charges into the 44 special cartridge and you can load it to 44 magnum overall length. The ejector Rod length is exactly the same as on all of them with that gun. They don't make longer ejector rods with a longer Barrel. They never have. And when I shoot mine I usually only load five, I have on a couple of occasions use that as a carry gun. What I have shot these a lot. I've been teaching shooting since 1970. Once again these are my favorite firearms. My favorite hunting load is 28 and a half grains of h110 behind a 180 grain Hollow point. It is blisteringly fast and it isn't the top load but it was also a very accurate load I don't want you. And I believe that's with the Sierra 180 grain but the truncated cone hollow point and 180 grain at about 1700 ft per second is probably going to be very effective. I've seen some of the hollow point ammo in the last couple of years is only loaded to 44 special velocities I do not understand that. But then again I've seen 10 mm ammo only loaded two 40 Smith velocities and they're talking about oh it's 10 mm it's so much more powerful than 40 smith. It isn't. But then again in the 1980s 10 mm was coming out at 1400 1500 ft per second and the highest velocity 10 mm you can buy today is running what 12:50? This gun is not that heavy it's probably about the weight of a full size 1911 and I carry one of those on a regular basis. The one that you have there is the Blackhawk version because it has the fluted cylinders. And it has the Blackhawk frame, and take your left hand out from under the bottom of the grip frame and put it like a regular Weaver grip. If you allow that gun to roll in your hand a little bit it makes it much easier to cock for the next shot. You can actually get very fast at shooting that and be quite accurate with it. But the actual Super Blackhawk grip frame is far more comfortable on that firearm. You say you've never owned one of those before, pick up one with the Dragoon style grip frame. Or have a Dragoon grip frame put on that gun. And that lever Evolution ammo looks really cool. It's starting to get into that recoil that my hand loads are usually set at.

Good looking pistol! I own the 4 5/8 barrel Vaquero in .357, but would definitely love to have a Blackhawk too.

you know this is a pinned frame later model with the transfer bar ignition system & it maybe safely loaded with 6 rounds , it won't discharge when dropped , the old 3 screw early models should be safely loaded with only 5 so put 6 rounds in that gun.I have the blued version of that same pistol with 43/4" barrel , I have taken several deer & always carried with 6 rounds.... love it ....enjoy !

Greatest thing about a 44 Mag is you can go from very light cowboy loads to massive firepower. Expect for a small population of handgun shooters, not to many folks can actually shoot effectively with a handgun more powerful than the 44 Mag.

I have the 4 5/8 barrel and I do carry it. Like users it didn’t have the square back trigger guard witch is a larger grip, l put one on my. The 225 ftx is a magnum but the 305 hard cast grizzly load will tump.

4and 5/8 is what i got!!

Sweet revolver!

Glad you enjoyed that Super Blackhawk. I have a 6.5" .44 Mag Blackhawk, and my wife gave me a SS 4.625" bbl Super Blackhawk for our 25 wedding anniversary (that's the stainless steel year, right?). Both of 'em are GREAT! Thank you for posting. Elmer would be proud.

it is safe to load 6 shots in the blackhawk . there is safety that keeps the gun from going off until the hammer is pulled back .

Beautiful pistol, I love Ruger firearms 😀

Good deal. Nice vid.

Ruger's Rock!!!

Thanks Brother!!

Had a 4.5" and your right Stainless guns are heavy. The Grips are very fragile. My grips cracked a piece off on the first shot, but I was waiting for a Pachmayr Gripper anyway.

sweet Beard!

I too like the heft on the Rugers.

It's windy, are you in Wyoming? I loved it out there.

I want one thank you for sharing

Mine is 7/12" barrel. Everybody asks, how do you mount the wheels on it?

Just inherited one of these and was looking to sell it, till I watched this video. Im not convinced to keep it. I really would love if it were a double action, which is what id try and buy with the money

I have that gun's twin. Exact same. It is a tank for sure.

You will never be able to wear that gun out. I hope you are still enjoying it.

would buy one in a heartbeat ...if only I could find one...

Doesn’t look like the recoil is too bad. 👍

i bought the same revolver 6 months ago on line and had to send it back to ruger to fix the off set loading gate that would allmost come open on its own and have them finish grinding down the inside of the frame in the cyilinder area and the front to rear cyilinder movement was a little to sloppy. they fixed it for no charge, but the idea that something that bad would even make it out of factory.....update...just sent in a new blackhawk 45 lc back to factory because the grip frame was offset on main frame, hole were drilled off and the blueing was half ass done. as a long time ruger fan i ame very disappointed.....

Super Blackhawk with a fluted cyl and round trigger guard??

I want one

I just put myself in line for the 0814 with the unfluted cylinder and 4.62” barrel in stainless steel. No idea when it’ll be here but 🤷🏼‍♂️😢

Are these also made in Double Action.......or only single action?

you should shoot the m&p smith and wesson .22lr

If a member at my club handled a firearm like that, I think the protocol for “OMG YOU CRAZY! LEAVE NOW!” would be activated.

Beautiful guns but tres` expensive.

I didn't believe the forums. I thought no way does this guy shoot with hotdogs in his bum. I can tell now though that he probably does. Watch his facial expressions.

7 1/2" barrel. Edited.

Not to rain on your parade, and I could be mistaken. But I haven't seen a super blackhawk yet with a fluted cylinder. Pretty sure that's just a normal black hawk. You might have been robbed. See the difference- ruger.com/products/newModelSuperBlackhawkStandard/models.html No flutes on the cylinder on the super

hi

No need to only load 5 in a new model ruger

Just took another look. You got robbed for sure, that is DEFINITELY a regular black hawk. The super has a squared off trigger guard. Dont know who you bought that off of but they lied to you man. Still an excellent gun, but you didnt get what you paid for.

Get yourself a hogue grip......im just saying...

Stopped watching at Black plastic tactical

Less talk

Too bad it has a 5 1/2 inch barrel. Resale is higher and collectible value is the 7 1/2 inch barrel, better luck next.
