Another stinkin' Ruger Super Blackhawk followed me home yesterday! Aarrghhh!!  It's just terrible.   It's a blued 7.5" .44 Magnum...nothing really special but just a very clean and rarely used handgun...there is barely a line around the cylinder. I guess if the price is right I'll buy about anything...almost had a Taurus Millenium Pro 9mm but the deal on the Ruger was better.

I know the feeling dan, my inventory includes 3 supers, 2 custom bh, 4 bh, 3 single sixes, and 1 vaquero. I would own more but I got distracted by the new smith and wessons and my recent introduction to contenders, for some reason my wife won't let me buy more black hawks and s&ws' and contender barrels, she makes me choose, it just aint fair.

I just found a problem with this gun that I've not had with a SA Ruger before. I was shooting it this evening and can not get the bullets to hit POI. With the rear sight all the way down it still hits 6" high at 25 yards using a practice load (240gr bullet at 800fps). With hunting loads (320gr @ 1350fps) it is WAY high! What do I do??

Dan, I ran into that once and found that the sight was a "high" sight. compare the rear sight blade to your other rugers and see if it is the same or if it is taller. you may just need to get a standard height blade from brownells or ruger.

Gerry...yes they do sell men's guns! That's why I bought one! Then I saw something that made me think of you...they had a gun there that looked like it would fit you perfect...not sure who makes it but it was one of those "cute" pink stocked single shot .22LR rifles.  It would have fit in my pocket but I figured you would need a sling to carry it around!
The front blade looks like it may be a HAIR shorter than the ones on my other 7.5" guns...but it would not take much to turn into a few inches. The rear blade looks the same as my other guns.
I'm going to try turning the rear sight balde into a V-notch which will effectively make it shorter. Then I'm going to put a gold bead toward the top edge of the front sight. I'll see how much that changes things before I go ordering stuff. Thanks.
