its pretty snappy with 240 gr. and 24 gr. of H 110 in that size. the grips on mine are not that great and I need to find some better ones, I bet a full load 300 gr. would really let you know you lit one of. Bob

In my opinion..., not necessarily. Yep I know there are Buffalo Bore loads and/or home-rolled fire-boomers that would make me a liar. But, I've shot quite a few Federal CastCore 300-grain factory loads in the shorter Super Blackhawks, and have actually found them more pleasurable than many 240-grain loads. The Federal CastCores are very difficult to find, so I recently bought some of these HSM Bear Loads. Similar ballistics on paper, and much easier to find for purchase. Soon as I can, I'll give them a try.
WAYNO.

True, but I think more of what that bullet will do to is target than what the recoil does to me. You can't argue away Newton's Laws.

I have one in the Bilsey grip frame. Took a bunch of shooting to get it not to shoot 6-8 inches to the left at 8 ft to 25 yds. I finally did get it sighted in and man- did that thing kick my ass. I was shooting 240 grain XTP's over a max charge of H110 and getting 1,325 FPS out of that short barrel. Sure makes a handy packing gun!
Word to the wise regarding buying one sight unseen: I nearly bought one from the Cabelas used gun case until upon further inspection, the grips were extremely poorly fitted. They had a new one in stock and the grips were infinitely better so it came home with me. I also had Rob at Simply Rugged make me a Sourdough Pancake for mine and that thing disappears on your hip!

Thank you Val, he loved it! We're going to take it to the range tomorrow after service. I'll post a range report afterwards.

Correct?
How many Lipsey's were produced? I can't find any for sale.

One month waiting for my order. Still listed "unavailable" at Lipsey's. I wonder why distributors catalogue guns they can't deliver. Do they stockpile back orders to hedge their bets on sales?

Val,
We deliver them as fast as Ruger sends them to us. We don't stockpile backorders. We keep hundreds on order and some models thousands for immediate shipment from the mfg. We have a pretty hefty backlog on many of the popular models including this one so if we get 50 or 100 in its no guarantee all the orders will get filled from that shipment.

I guess I need to keep my fingers crossed. Makes me wonder who's minding the shop at Ruger. If a model gets sold out so easily, perhaps it's time to stoke up the manufacture. I got curious because the other time I had a gun ordered from Lipsey's, delivery came within the week.

Lots going on at Ruger and even though we sell a lot of this model, its still a relatively small number in the overall picture. Special runs get made after the regularly cataloged models so sometimes they get pushed back. No fault of Ruger, just business.

Well, Jason, I appreciate your answers. Communication does good for everyone.

Ruger is runnin' balls to the walls and I'm surprised they are still getting out the distributor exclusive small runs at all! And looking forward to the added capacity of the new plant opening.
The irony is, the department stores in my area have these Shorty-Supers on display and readily for sale.
WAYNO.

Pardon the bump. Two months waiting. Patience is the virtue of the wise. How much wiser am I supposed to get?

Val,
Why wait? Since we know they're in stock at other locations, make some contacts, buy one and have one sent to your FFL.

All I can say is that if I was gonna take on a big griz with a Blackhawk .44 Mg., I would just as soon it was the short barrel version....it is a little quicker to get into action.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.... :lol:
