I've been looking for a Super Blackhawk in 44 on the used market since the new prices have greatly increased. Found one online, looked good, so I made the purchase. I wasn't paying attention to details.
Upon arrival I thought I was confused. She was marked New Model Blackhawk 44 Magnum, not super. Turns out it was a 50th Anniversary Flat Top--a model I was not familiar with. She appears unfired, just a faint turn on the cylinder. My guess it was put away in a dark place for awhile, to surface today for unknown reasons.
Looks like a great reason to load Specials, with some magnums simply because we can.
Now I have a nice trio of 6 1/2 inch Blackhawks: A Single Six , a 357/9mm, and the new 44. Think I will start shopping grips to dress them up a little and get some leather.
