I had the 7-1/2. It was a hoot.

I've owned many, and still do. I cut my teeth on .44 Magnum using my very first Super Blackhawk with a 7-1/2" barrel. I got good with it.

Thru the years I've had longer barrels, and certainly shorter.

My favorite, or most used Super Blackhawk is now my 3-3/4" barrel model.

Let me say too, just because it's a .44 Magnum, nothing says it has to be loaded to painful levels to be effective. A 240 grain hardcast bullet loaded to 1050+/- fps is still very formidable.

And since you mentioned DA, I also have a 629. Love it.

My purposes have morphed. The Super Blackhawk has become a trail gun, where the 629 has become an actual hunting revolver.

Either way, they are both winners.

I like the stainless ones for my fishing trips. Where I use to fish with my father had a real problem with feral dogs. The stainless Ruger revolvers are nice, and reliable.
