I have a newer stainless Super Blackhawk in .44 mag with 4-5/8 barrel. The gun is a bit heavy and bulky for woods carry.
I saw a new Blackhawk .41 mag at the local gun shop that looked like a really nice carry gun and would be great for the woods. It seemed smaller and lighter than my Super Blackhawk, but where I'm confused is that I've read that my 4-5/8 Super Blackhawk has the same frame as the regular Blackhawks.
Yet my Super Blackhawk feels much bulkier in the grip and far heavier overall. The Ruger website lists my model Super Blackhawk at 45 oz and the .41 mag Blackhawk I'm interested in at .38 oz. Where is the weight savings on the .41 mag Blackhawk if the frames are the same?
The reason I ask is if there's hardly any difference between the two guns, there's no point to me in buying the .41 mag. I'm looking for significant weight and grip and general size reduction.
Thanks for any insight.
