Those magnum calibers in the m77 kick like a barrowed mule. The stock design is why. I would not buy a magnum in a m77.

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.

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

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.....

Less talk

how much did you buy this rifle for?

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

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

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

Beautiful guns but tres` expensive.

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

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!

Pull the trigger already! That took forever.

How much were these scopes ?

I want one

Leupold... The way to go... AMERICAN Made

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 !

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

Beautiful pistol, I love Ruger firearms 😀

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.

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.

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.

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

I too like the heft on the Rugers.

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

Relaxxxx

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.

Thanks Brother!!

4and 5/8 is what i got!!

Ruger's Rock!!!

sweet Beard!

I just picked up one of these at my local pawn shop with the same Weaver K4 (made in El Paso, TX!), and I can’t wait to shoot it!

I love the old tang saftey ruger m77

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 🤷🏼‍♂️😢

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.

My 1971 M77 was best rifle I ever owned and I let a shister have it cheap because he knew what I had and I didn’t.

Funny, I’m back here to torture myself again.

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

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

Useless Video

Want to say good shooting but your time it took to aim and hit was a bit must for me.

I want the 7mm rem mag but in a browning x bolt with a 28 inch barrel or 26 inch barrel

Is this a 2ws??

No need to only load 5 in a new model ruger

I want one thank you for sharing

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.

A deer would of been in the next county by the time you got the shot off.

7 1/2" barrel. Edited.

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

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 .
