OAL of the magnum cylinder that I have is 1.621", so I will be looking for a cylinder that's probably no shorter than 1.620". Please let me know if you have one and how much you would like for it. Thanks very much!

I appreciate everyone's comments here! I read through John Linebough's comments and found that interesting. I was just kind of curious, especially being Ruger makes the Redhawk in .454 Casull, I would've thought the SBH would be a natural for it, too. Thanks again!

I really enjoy the Super Blackhawk and think one chambered in .454 Casull would be a great combination. I understand a SBH can be converted to 454 Casull by a gunsmith. Do you think Ruger will ever make a 454 Casull SBH? Who does the conversion and what does it normally cost?

Thanks for the additional information and graphics! I do have the original walnut grips, which are in decent condition, but I prefer more grain pattern - hence the interest in rosewood/cocobolo. I did order a set from CDNN, but I'll keep an eye out in the classifieds as well. I have a...

Thanks for the welcome and your quick replies! Originally, I wanted to purchase a set of rosewood grips directly from Ruger. I stopped at the factory in Prescott, AZ, but was told they were out of stock (last December). I stopped again in May and this time, was told they were no longer...

New guy here with a quick first question regarding grips for a Super Blackhawk. It's got the 7.5" barrel and square trigger guard and was probably manufactured in the last 10-15 years. I'm looking for a set of Ruger medalion cocobolo or rosewood grips and saw some listed on CDNN Sports...
