The revolver is sold as a blued model with light-colored hardwood grips, a satin stainless model with dark colored hardwood grips, and a distributor’s special with a western-style case hardened finish. The more popular 7.5-inch model is 13.38 inches long, and the largest, with a 10.5-inch long barrel, is a massive 16.38 inches. The shortest version, with a 3.75-inch barrel, is approximately 10.5 inches long. In addition to barrel length, the pistol’s length is also dictated by the length of the cartridge, which has an overall length of 1.61 inches. The New Model Super Blackhawk is not a small gun. A full load of six rounds in the cylinder adds another three ounces. A version with a 10.5-inch barrel weighs 55 ounces.
