\"When<\/a>

When it comes to bear-busting power, you have to have at least a .44 Mag to expect to accomplish anything. And, if you can pack it into a relatively compact gun like this 3.75-inch-barreled Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley, then all the better.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Ruger<\/a>

Ruger Blackhawks are known for their rugged strength and simplicity of design.<\/p><\/div>\n

Whether you\u2019re talking grizzlies, gators or gangs, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve got predators in your neck of the woods. When I\u2019m in the field, I feel uneasy unless I have at least a .44 Magnum close at hand. I know cartridges like the .454 Casull, .480 Ruger Magnum and .500 S&W Magnum are all good choices for putting down big predators, but the ready availability and time-tested performance of Elmer Keith\u2019s ultimate handgun load has a special appeal. It also has a manageable recoil for a large-bore cartridge. When you team that up with the strength and dependability of the Ruger Super Blackhawk<\/a> platform, you truly have a gun you can trust your life with.<\/p>\n

Before you say it, yes, a rifle, the bigger the better, is the preferred firearm for facing down a half ton of brown bear. But if you don\u2019t happen to be carrying a rifle, or you\u2019re on nature\u2019s call in the middle of the night when you bump into an unwelcome visitor, a sidearm is mighty handy.<\/p>\n

The original Blackhawk single-action debuted in 1956 in .357 Magnum. It was basically a modernized revolver similar to the old Colt Single Action Army which was no longer in production. A simple and rugged design, the Blackhawk was an overnight hit. However, the Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk Bisley is a long way from those original roots. And the one being tested here, the Lipsey\u2019s Distributor Exclusive Model 0818 Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk Bisley<\/a>, is a great example of how far along the design has come over the years.<\/p>\n

\"It\u2019s<\/a>

It\u2019s a single-action revolver, so you load rounds one at a time through the side loading gate.<\/p><\/div>\n
