Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Ruger Super Blackhawk shoot .44 Special in addition to .44 Magnum?
Yes. The Super Blackhawk is chambered to accept both .44 Magnum and .44 Special cartridges interchangeably. Shooting .44 Special loads is a great way to enjoy reduced recoil and lower-cost practice sessions while using the same revolver for full-power magnum hunting loads when it counts.
Is the 10.5" barrel a good choice for hunting, and what kind of game is it suitable for?
Absolutely. The 10.5" barrel maximizes the velocity of .44 Magnum loads, making it one of the most effective handgun hunting configurations available. It provides a longer sight radius for precise shot placement and is well-suited for hunting deer, feral hogs, black bear, and similar large game at typical handgun hunting distances. The added barrel length does make it less compact, so it's best carried in a quality holster rather than concealed.
How does the Ruger Super Blackhawk's transfer bar safety system work?
Ruger's patented transfer bar mechanism ensures the revolver can only fire when the trigger is fully depressed and the hammer is deliberately dropped. The transfer bar physically blocks the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled, meaning the gun can be safely carried with all six chambers loaded. The loading gate interlock further prevents the hammer from falling while the gate is open during loading or unloading.
