Sorry to ask such simple questions to such a learned group. I've tried hard to search and read what I can.
I am in the market for a single action. I've owned a Freedom Arms Model 83, and enjoyed it for a brief romance. But, there are some aspects of owning an expensive revolver that lead me to consider the equally effective Blackhawk.
(1)Is the Super Blackhawk cylinder frame identical to that of the Blackhawk?
(2)Is the Super Blackhawk grip frame larger and steel vs. the Blackhawk grip frame smaller and aluminum?
(3)Can the Super Blackhawk grip frame be attached to a Blackhawk?
(4)Is the Super Blackhawk ejector rod housing steel vs. Blackhawk aluminum?
(5)Is the cylinder of a Ruger SA securely locked into alignment with the barrel at some point? The example SBH I felt was very loose in rotation after dropping the hammer using the trigger but keeping the hammer in my control as it fell. I'm used to DA revolvers being free of significant cylinder rotation at that point.
