I don't have a Super Blackhawk but I have two "Old Model" Blackhawks in .357 Magnum and a "New Model" in .41 Magnum. One of the .357s has been around since the 1970s. I used it for everything for a few years then, including home defense, NRA Hunter's Pistol Silhouette, and hunting. It is still one of the easiest carrying woods guns I have ever hauled around on a trout stream, or in the deer woods. I didn't have much in the way of good leather for it either, it rode in a beat up "throw in" Hunter holster.

I shoot mostly double action Smiths now so it takes me a little while to get used to the Rugers again. They still shoot well for me after refamiliarization and are very tough guns.

If you shoot them more, with lighter loads you might find yourself appreciating them more.
