Ruger Standard Target 4" barrel.
You know ..... I can't say I know where a list of model numbers is at.
I refer to my subscription in RENE. Surely someone will be along shortly that knows more than me.

You will need to look in the RENE Reference Handbook for the info. The quarterly newsletter won't have it.

For the SA's, here's a brief overview:
BKH = old model Blackhawk
Following digits express caliber and barrel length
3 = .357 mag (flattop, 4-5/8" barrel)
34 = same as above but used after other barrel lengths and also non-FT OM's
36 = .357 mag, 6.5" barrel (FT and non)
30 = .357 mag, 10" barrel (FT only)
4 = .44 mag (flattop 6.5" barrel)
46 = same as above but used later after other lengths
47 = .44 mag FT with 7.5" barrel
40 = .44 mag FT with 10" barrel
31 = .30 Carb OM, 7.5"
41 = .41 Mag OM, 4-5/8"
42 = .41 Mag OM, 6.5"
44 = .45 Colt OM, 4-5/8
45 = .45 Colt OM, 7.5"
S47 = old model Super Blackhawk (.44, 7.5")
RSS = Single Six, 5.5"
RSS5 = same as above
RSS4 = Single Six, 4-5/8"
RSSM = Single Six Magnum (.22 WMR) 6.5"
RSS9 = Single Six, 9.5"
RSSE = Single Six, Engraved (5.5")
LWAC = Lightweight Single Six, Alloy cylinder (4-5/8")
LWSC = Same but with steel cylinder
SC = Super Single Six (4,5,6 for bbl length)
The NM's have similar numbering but it starts getting confusing fast as new calibers and barrel lengths came out. And stainless.
K = stainless
GK = glossy stainless
BN = NM Blackhawk
NR = NM Super Single Six
S = NM Super Single Six LR only
S47N = NM Super Blackhawk
etc, etc...

The best source for figuring out exactly what a gun is when all you have to go by is a model is the RENE guide. Way too many things with different meanings in each model to compile a "master" list. Basically the letters of the alphabet are used as a code, but the same letter can be used in different models to mean something entirely different.
It can be confusing if you don't have a guide.
