I have shot Super Blackhawks for over 50 years and never owned anything smaller than the 44 mag . Now that I am older and smarter I bought two new Blackhawks this week .
I bought a Vaquero Birdshead with 3.3/4 inch barrel in 45 Colt . Also a Blackhawk 4.5/8 inch barrel in 44 Special . Shot them both today for the first time and they are a lot of fun . The Vaquero is a surprise to me it shot very well with 200gr. lead and 7.2gr. of 231 . The Blackhawk shot fine not as much fun but fun anyway . The 44 Special with 200gr. lead was loaded with H4227 and a 240gr. jacketed XTP with 15.1gr. of 296 shot well.
Got to love them Rugers
