Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter

About the Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter

The Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter is a single-action revolver chambered in .44 Magnum, built for handgun hunting and long-range silhouette shooting. It combines the heavy-frame Super Blackhawk with the Bisley grip frame, whose elongated grip, wide low-spur hammer and curved trigger tame the recoil of full-power magnum loads. Its heavy 7.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel carries a full-length rib with integral scope mounts machined into the solid stainless steel, and the revolver ships with a set of Ruger scope rings. It also accepts .44 Special ammunition.

The Bisley name traces to a target-shooting range at Bisley in England; Colt used it for a purpose-built target single-action, and Ruger revived the grip geometry for magnum handgun hunters who needed a hold that could soak up the punishment of cartridges like the .44 Magnum through long strings of fire.

Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter specifications

The Bisley grip frame is longer and has a less pronounced flare at the base than the standard Super Blackhawk plow-handle grip, rolling recoil into the hand rather than snapping the muzzle up. The integral scope-ring mounts are machined directly into the barrel rib, giving a scope base that will not shoot loose under heavy recoil.
