Description:
Very Sharp 1970 RUGER SUPER BLACKHAWK Single Action .44 MAGNUM Revolver C&R

Desirable “THREE-SCREW” Design with 7-1/2” Barrel

Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Ruger Super Blackhawk Revolver made by Sturm, Ruger & Company chambered in .44 Magnum, made in Southport, Connecticut in 1970. In the early 1950s, Westerns were popular in movies and television. Colt had discontinued the iconic Single Action Army prior to World War II, and few single-action revolvers were available to meet market demand for cowboy-style revolvers. In 1953, the new firm of Sturm, Ruger & Company introduced the Ruger “Single-Six”, a .22 Long Rifle rimfire single-action revolver. The Single-Six proved to be a popular seller, leading Ruger to develop and market a centerfire revolver similar to the Single Action Army, which thy labeled the “Ruger Blackhawk”.

Ruger introduced the Blackhawk in 1955 and chambered it with the powerful .357 Magnum cartridge. The Blackhawk was a simple and strong design, and it sold well. In 1956, as Smith & Wesson was introducing the new .44 Magnum, Ruger quickly developed a variant of the Blackhawk (Super Blackhawk) in the new cartridge. Ruger achieved wide popularity with this firearm. The Blackhawk was both cheaper and more readily available than the Smith & Wesson Model 29 revolver. Interestingly, according to popular legend, Ruger was able to field a .44 Magnum revolver at nearly the same time as Smith & Wesson due to a Ruger employee finding expended .44 Magnum cartridge cases at a scrapyard and deducing that Smith & Wesson was about to launch a new cartridge.

The rugged Super Blackhawk stands out with its steel grip frame, adding weight and balance for a steadier handling experience. Its grip, slightly longer than the standard Blackhawk’s, offers a firm hold and helps spread recoil across a broader area, giving shooters more control. The hammer spur on the Super Blackhawk is lower and wider, making it easier to cock quickly and reliably.

The overall condition is excellent. Original finish. Excellent action. Shiny bright bore with strong rifling. Markings are clear and crisp. Fine stag grips.
