Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger Blackhawk 44 Special for sale
How much is the 44 Special?
.44 Special ammunition typically costs around $24 per box of 25 rounds, with most listings ranging $20–$30. Bulk 500-round packs run roughly $420. Charter Arms Bulldog revolvers in this caliber average $617 new and $595 used in our marketplace, with models like the Bulldog listed around $460.
Is a 44 Special stronger than a 357 magnum?
No. The .357 Magnum generates higher velocity and pressure than the .44 Special. However, the comparison is nuanced: the .44 Special fires a larger, heavier bullet and can transfer energy efficiently into a target. The .357 Magnum generally leads in raw pressure and velocity, but neither cartridge is categorically stronger by all ballistic measures.
Is 44 Special enough for deer?
Yes, .44 Special works for deer at close range with proper loads. Hunters report success using 200-grain bullets at distances under 50 yards. Standard pressure loads are adequate; shot placement matters most. Recoil is manageable compared to .44 Magnum, making follow-up shots easier.
Does 44 Special have a lot of recoil?
.44 Special produces moderate recoil, roughly 4.5 ft-lbs, well below .357 Magnum's approximately 10 ft-lbs. In compact revolvers recoil is noticeable but controllable for most shooters, and follow-up shots remain manageable compared to larger magnum cartridges.
Can you shoot .44 Special in a .44 mag?
Yes, .44 Magnum revolvers safely fire .44 Special rounds. The Special is shorter and generates lower pressure, functioning reliably in Magnum cylinders. Clean the cylinder regularly when alternating between the two to prevent carbon ring buildup that can make chambering Magnum rounds difficult.
Is Ruger Super Blackhawk a good gun?
"Good" depends on your needs. The Super Blackhawk is well-regarded for solid construction, accuracy, and reliability in a single-action revolver. It handles .44 Magnum effectively for hunting and sport shooting. Factor in the significant recoil and whether a single-action platform suits your intended use.
What is the best ammo for Ruger .44 Blackhawk?
Best ammo depends on your use. For hunting, Federal 240-grain JHP offers reliable expansion. For target shooting with less recoil, reduced .44 Magnum loads work well. Cast bullet loads of 300-320 grains deliver good accuracy in many Rugers. Match your choice to hunting, sport, or practice needs.
What is the difference between a Blackhawk and a Blackhawk Bisley?
The Bisley variant features a larger steel grip frame (versus aluminum on standard models), an unfluted cylinder, and a longer barrel. Its grip angle and shape distribute recoil differently, which many shooters prefer. The standard Blackhawk has a traditional plow-handle grip frame with an aluminum backstrap.
