Can't be an 82 model, it's a 3 screw, which ceased production in 73.

Try 1972 per the Serial #

Right you are veeman! It's only an 82 cause I can't type! Let's try 1972. Thanks for catching that and letting me know.

Yep absolutely correct. It was a late night post. Keep me honest guys!

Nothing like a 44 Magnum revolver...I've had many but this is what I have now...Both of these are newer as they were made in 1983

Here's my pair of Super Blackhawks.

So love the older guns with the recessed chambers. Wish they still did that. Much cleaner looking gun.

Well...here's my Redhawk. Approximate date range of '96. Bought it used with a bag full of reloads that the seller made up. Not sure how hot they are so I've yet to try one. Lol! I've shot factory loads and it kicks alright. Is it possible to load em too hot to shoot out of a Redhawk. Just asking. I'm off work due to Covid-19 or I would take a trip to an outdoor range. No point in exposing anybody to that.

Bought in 2014 ot there abouts made on '96

One I played with... used to be a .357, and some others...

1984 Redhawk
2021 SBH
2012 Alaskan

I like a full lug in .44 mag

My .44 Magnums. Only two I have. Top is the 50th Anniversary flattop. The other is just a standard SBH.


Had a .44 Mag Super Redhawk, but to big, to heavy. Traded for an original Vaquero in .45 Colt.

Now that I have my .44 Special SA flattops, even these .44 Magnum revolvers hardly ever get out. .44 Special is much more fun and really all I need in the .429 caliber.

1957 Three Screw, Vaquero with Super grip frame/trigger, hammer. 10.5" Super Blackhawk.

I bought this one with stag grips on this forum many years ago.



This one, Harton built, now wears a Bowen rear sight.

Here's my hunting handgun, Super Blackhawk with Weaver 2-8X:


I do have a Pachmayr grip on it now.

Aqualung

moparclan's 3-screw looks like it might be one of those rare 7 1/2" bbl guns (?) that Chet is collecting serial numbers for.....

Let me add 2 more Stainless 44 Magnums, early (1983) KS410N-SBH 10.5" taper barrel, I understand it to be one of ~2000 manufactured.
Bisley/Hunter SBH (2004).

2 10.5" Rugers and a Dan Wesson 8" VH 744
