This revolver rewards your consistent handloading with repeatable performance. 44 Specials and then, using a pre-recorded adjustment to the sights, switch up to blasting fireball-belching magnums in the same range session. Speaking of handloads, I’d also like to mention two things to potential Blackhawk owners: one is that this is truly a cartridge chemist’s ideal platform, able to eat up just about anything you want to throw at it. I have yet to load something up I can’t make shoot to point of aim at 25 yards with these sights.

When adjusting, it provides positive clicks and can cover a broad range of elevation, allowing for the full range of. They allow for quick and accurate shooting. Here, you get a modern set of sights adjustable for windage and elevation with a small flathead screwdriver and a tall front post. The Blackhawk’s sights are another departure from the common gutter-and-halfmoon fixed sights. 44 Magnum cylinder occasionally from the SBH.Īdjustable sights are a welcome modern addition on this traditional wheelgun. My wife detests even light Magnum handgun loads, but even she likes a medium-power. Combined with the weight of the SBH, it’s comfortable to shoot loads that would feel rather punishing in most double-action revolvers. It’s also something of a cliché, but it’s true that the plowhandle grip shape helps the gun roll in your hand with recoil. I don’t doubt a talented gunsmith could make it otherworldly, but for my use, this is more than adequate. From the factory, the trigger is very good. Cocking the hammer requires an light amount of force, after which a very light, crisp trigger with no creep or take-up to speak of takes only about six pounds of pressure to set off your favourite. A minor inconvenience at worst-and this is the worst thing about the gun I can come up with.

Sometimes, the ejector rod can’t completely clear a case from the cylinder, necessitating a manual extraction. Here’s my only true complaint about shooting this model of SBH: the relatively short length of the barrel does limit the ejector rod as well.
It balances freakishly well in a single-handed grip.Ī relatively short barrel length for a. Yes, it’s a huge gun, most noticeably the giant cylinder and barrel assembly, but it does not feel silly or overwhelming to me, partly because of the balance and partly because of the traditional cowboy grips that fit nicely in most hands. The SBH’s heft is immediately noticeable though please don’t take my meaning as in an awkward way. It’s available in stainless and blued (and sometimes more limited production runs with case hardening or other variations), and with fluted or unfluted cylinders.įor the money, you are getting quite a hunk of gun. It’s listed to sell at $829 MSRP, but I purchased mine for $740. The gun comes out of a moulded plastic case with an oversized padlock and instruction manual. The example I’m reviewing is a big ol’ wheelgun, tipping the scales at a hefty 2.7 pounds and measuring up at 10.5” overall, with the downright stubby 4.6” barrel. 44 Magnum, and that’s what I’m reviewing here. It’s a single-action revolver with some modernizations based off the Colt guns of yore and a variety of SBH models have been available over the years.
The SBH is one of Ruger’s oldest designs. Unfluted barrel cylinder on the Ruger Super Blackhawk.
