Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter 44mag Revolver - 6 Rounds | 7.5" Barrel | Polymer Grips | Stainless/Silver | Adjustable Sights

Great project highly recommend, thanks to Buds for great service and quick shipping!!

Outstanding quality . Fast shipping . Thank you Buds!

This thing is awesome. Looks good, shoots good. Absolute coolest single action in my collection. Worth every penny.

Maybe it was a long lived desire to move up to the mythical .44 magnum that inspired this purchase or maybe it was the idea of embodying the aesthetic of a modern cowboy that did the trick. In all honesty, it was probably spending the winter playing Red Dead Redemption 2 that did it, but whatever the reason, this Ruger Super Boom-stick Hunter is going to be a lifelong friend for me. I cant remember the last time I had so much fun shooting a revolver, let one that caused so many folks at the range to do that peak-around-the-lane-wall move to see where all the cannon fire and laugher was coming from.
But you probably want a proper review, curious shopper, so here it is... THE GOOD. I just cannot heap enough praise on this thing. The lines and look are incredible, the feel in your hands is simultaneously powerful and comfortable, the machining is superb, the noises (come on, you know you like the mechanical sounds guns make) register at a perfect pitch, the action is super smooth, and the accuracy is dead-set center at 25 yards out of the box using 240 grain loads measuring in at 1200 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle. Thats 5.56x45mm rifle ammo energy in a VERY control-friendly revolver (if I could get my thumb moving fast enough I bet I could double tap this thing). In all, I put 120 magnum rounds through it on the first outing and could have kept going but I ran out of funtime batteries... always bring extra rounds to the range.
THE BAD. Um... it gets very hot after 120 rounds. Seriously, there is very little to pick on here. The first few hammer throws are a bit gritty but that clears right up with use. The grip panels are laminated so they are a little slick after prolonged shooting and replacement grips arent easy or cheap to find (curse the square trigger guard on the boring old super blackhawk). It is easy to loose the factory front sight on bright targets but hiviz replacements for that are only $20. Of course its heavy, its a foot long chunk of stainless steel so thats not bad in and of itself. But the worse thing by far is that I have to go to work to pay for ammo and cant just shoot this smile-maker all day every day!
Buy this gun. No really, good people of Massachusetts like me, order it now. It is endlessly enjoyable, freakishly durable, mindnumbingly accurate, and jaw-droppingly high on the cool factor scale. MA shooters need all the help we can get showing the rest of the country we can still throw down at the hoedown and having the sweetest toy at the range goes a long way to accomplishing just that.

Wanted one for years: it was well worth the wait.

I purchased two of these at the same time with one being a gift to my nephew. Both guns are beautiful with tight tolerances and flawless finishes.we have only used the iron sights so far but accuracy is such that these will be scoped and hunted with. I find the recoil much easier to absorb with this style revolver as the recoil energy is directed into muzzle rise rather than being directed straight back into your hand. Even with the muzzle jump it was surprisingly mild. It felt like shooting a .357 magnum out of a double action revolver. The triggers have some creep but it’s smooth and not gritty so good releases are easy to make. I look forward to reloading this handgun. My range ammo was 240 grain soft nose by Fiochi. We only fired 12 rounds each because it was cold but could have easily gone through a box each without recoil fatigue. If you are looking for an accurate, reliable handgun for hunting look at this one. It is heavy but that will be an advantage in the field

This pistol is a beast! It is extremely well built, well balanced, and shoots great. I ran both 44 Magnum and 44 Special rounds through it and it ate both of them up. The cocking mechanism on it is very smooth and the trigger is just about perfect for me with minimal creep on it. I am still getting used to the grip on it as it doesn't quite fit right in my hand, but I think that was partly due to the fact I was wearing a shooting glove on the right hand. It's not enough to make me unhappy with the purchase though. For me the front sight will probably get replaced by a fiber optic sight as I was having trouble acquiring it to set up my sight picture. I know for some they have said it's not an issue, but for me it's enough of an issue to get a different one. But overall I am really happy with this pistol. It shoots phenomenally well and is extremely well built, so it can take the heavy duty magnum rounds running through it. This is one great pistol that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great 44 Magnum at a price that won't rupture your bank account. Bud's as usual was awesome; a real pleasure to buy from them.

Just the basics here. This is one of the finest revolvers I have ever handled. When I first received it, it was a bit tight on the loading gate and the hammer would stick a bit every 12th cocking or so. Some gun oil, some time, and some rounds through it have left me with a hunting machine I would take anywhere. Though Ruger sends massive scope rings with this weapon, mine remains unscoped. The front sight's bright orange and the back sight's wide notch make target acquisition almost immediate. This 7.5 inch long beast is incredibly well balanced, and will eat any ammunition you choose to run through it with aplomb. Ruger over builds all of their revolvers to make them tough, and this one is no exception. My recent test to see if I was ready for deer season this year saw me drilling an 8 inch target at 125 yards with Fiocchi 240gr SJHP rounds. When I did my part, the Blackhawk drilled it every time. This is a tough, reliable, beautiful single action, and I can't wait to take my first game with it!

Great Revolver... Buds was great as always... Ive put around 50rds thru it so far and its been flawless... my 13yr old son and wife shot a few rds and were able to handle the recoil however we only had 240 grain hornady and some local loads at 240 grain... I will update possibly once I get leupold mounted and some big bore ammo before hunting season !!!

This revolver is a beast. The heavy weight and long barrel help to mitigate the recoil of the 44Magnum ammunition. The build quality of my gun is exceptional. I have fired about 200 rounds through it in a week and I have not found a loading that it does not shoot well. Cast hand loads, heavy bullets, lightweight loads, all of them print outstanding groups at 25 yards. The trigger is good, cylinder lock-up is tight, and the sights were spot on for jacketed loads right out of the box. This gun shoots the lights out of the M1894 rifle it is replacing. When you pick up the Super Blackhawk Hunter, you know you have a heavy, well built handgun. Accept no substitute.
