The whole gun was smaller. No raised ribs to protect the sights, a smaller trigger, a fluted cylinder and a smaller hammer, as well as some of the Blackhawks had shorter barrels. So, the Super Blackhawk had bulkier features and considerably more weight (considerably bigger), despite a rationalization to the contrary.I'm talking about the frame itself. I know the grip frame was slightly smaller but you implied the whole gun was smaller:"but the much smaller Blackhawk in .44 magnum? A whole different animal".
Did I mention that the standard Super Blackhawks come with a 7.5 inch barrel whereas Blackhawks came with shorter barrels (less weight)?
