I thought it looked like a Super Blackhawk too. Not too common in stainless but I think that is what it is.

It does, and stainless makes sense in that environment. Nothing sucks worse than that nasty surface rust that shows up on a nice firearm because it was wet and bloody in camp.

Concur on Super Blackhawk. The hammer shape and shroud for the ejector rod rule out a DA model.

Had a Bisley Hunter in .44 Mag, beat my hands to death with hot loads (used to a S&W N Frame grip), still have a numb spot on my thumb from pinching a nerve (and this was in 2006!)

Damn. Ross Seyfried swore by the Bisley handle for those super hot loads in the five shot super boomers.

Got a Ruger Redhawk in .44 magnum. I keep it in my bathroom. Don’t ask what I keep in my bedroom. (My wife with a broom.)

I love .44 mag wheelguns. Everyone should have a few.
