My father-in-law (awesome guy) just gave me a few of his old guns and there was a Ruger Super Blackhawk in the box. It has a 7.5 inch barrel and the serial number dates it to 1986. I wanted to get a new set of grips for this revolver, but I got really confused when I searched for them.
It seems the majority of the 7.5 inch guns had a Dragoon-style square trigger guard, but this one has a round guard. I started doing some reading about the various grip frames out there (XR3, XR3 RED, SBH, etc.) and got really confused. For what it's worth, I don't think this is a Hunter model. The frame says NEW Super Blackhawk or something like that. I have posted some pictures below to help.
Anyway, I guess my question is whether I need grips for the Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk with square trigger guard, or something else? Thanks!
