The Super Blackhawk was introduced to replace the original Flattop Blackhawk .44 Magnum with a larger grip frame better suited to the heavy recoil of the .44 Magnum cartridge. The 4.62-inch barrel is the most compact Super Blackhawk configuration and the best choice for hip-carry in the field. The unfluted cylinder and large grip frame are defining visual characteristics. Type: Revolver Action: Single-Action Caliber: .44 Remington Magnum Capacity: 6 Year introduced: 1959, USA Weight: 45 oz Overall length: 10.25" Status: Active Intended use: hunting, sporting, outdoor
