Both new models.... I noted the blued 5" blackhawk has an alloy frame and the stainless  6" super has a steel frame.

Both have fluted cylinders and both seem to have the same sized grips. So what else am I missing?


Just curious...I inherited by dad's 45LC blackhawk. I picked up the stainless SB because it was a bargain but had no interest in 44m. But I can't tell you how much I wish it was 45LC too. I like the longer barrel and stainless. I just called them both both blackhawks and just noted that the stainless was a SB a few minutes ago. I thought the SBs all lacked the fluting but not the shorter barrel models I guess.

Usually the hammer and grip frame are different. Not always. Most Super Blackhawks have an unfluted cylinder.

My 4 5/8” Super Blackhawk stainless has an unfluted cylinder, a Super Blackhawk hammer, and a Blackhawk grip frame.
