Only via "blacksmithing" the square backed trigger guard.
The above 10 inch barreled .44 Flattop has been fitted with such a beast.....
The pretty grips are from long gone Lett Mfg. and were designed for OM Super Blackhawks.

Yep, here you go:
4-5/8" and I believe the 5-1/2" New Model Super Blackhawk. I could be mistaken, but I understand this one fits, and it does have a round trigger guard.

The 4-5/8" and 5-1/2" New Model Super Blackhawks do indeed have round trigger guard grip frames, HOWEVER they are XR3-RED grip frames and not the much larger, traditional Super Blackhawk design.
Look close at this image. It shows a XR3-RED walnut grip panel setting on the "square back trigger guard" Super Blackhawk grip frame. Note how the XR3-RED matches up quite well but is significantly "shorter".

Search will be on for a blue steel, or maybe stainless, New Model Super Blackhawk grip frame. It would be nice if there was a supply with the round trigger guard.
Thanks for the visual, Flatgate. We've seen the assorted drawings and overlays here a number of times, and they are/were very helpful. But this visual with the grip panels is most helpful. I'm guessing that longer grip frame would fit my hand a little better than the XRN-3RED which are on all of my New Models; don't have a Super. I'm guessing that larger grip frame would still fit my 1978/79 vintage New Model Blackhawks.

Think how nice it woluld be to have DRAGOON, HUNTER and BISLEY grip frames in brass, carbon steel and stainless...maybe even aluminum.
