How many of you own a Super Blackhawk with square trigger guard?

Man, my pop sold his Super Blackhawk off before he passed away. I wish he would have kept it or even sold it to me :-(

Almost all of the Super Blackhawks have the dragoon style grip frame.

The short barreled Super Blackhawks, 4 5/8" & 5 1/2", do not have the square back trigger guard.

That is too bad. . If you know the s/n post it for us to see. You never know someone might have it.

Good thought but back then he didn't fret about serial numbers and he ditched his NY carry license with the sn recorded on it. I could ask the NY state police for it but I don't think they would give it to me.

That makes it easy. Buy one that looks like his and enjoy that it might actually be it. After a while you will start to believe it really is his. Lol.

Oh heck. I would give it a try. It would be amazing if they could give you any help to track it down. Fingers

My 1993 vintage Bisley… the Bisley GF really helps tame recoil.

I agree on the Bisley grip frame (gf), not only because the recoil dynamics are better, I can get the pinkie of my right hand fully on the grip. I cannot abide any gf that doesn't support my hand fully and any Ruger I buy gets a Bisley or Super Blackhawk Dragoon style grip frame.

And this is why I always tell people; "Find the grip shape that fits YOUR hands,, to heck with what I use!" Everybody has a different feel when they grip a handgun. You find what works for YOU!

And cary is correct,, but I did say most,, not all! :D But ALL of the OM Supers did have the dragoon style.

I showed my pair of OM’s earlier in the thread. I do have a NM that was born as a Bisley. In keeping with Contender’s assertion that you should run what works for you, I submit my unfinished Bisley grip upgrade. I figured since it’s a NM there’s no desecration or blasphemy involved LOL.

It’s a RW Gripframes BFG-L. Currently not a catalogued offering. I might start fitting it later today…

I have also found that the Super Blackhawk Hunter grip frame is very comfortable. I straighten the front strap somewhat - Bisley style.
