    Ruger Flatop 44 sp.

    I need a holster for a 44 sp. flattop, is this frame a Blackhawk or super Blackhawk when ordering one from El Paso Saddlery?
    Thanks Dan

    It is neither. It's a completely different frame size and is smaller. It is called a mid-sized frame.

    The frame on a standard blackhawk and on a super blackhawk are the same. The differences are that a super blackhawk has an unfluted cylinder (except for the 5.5" bbl) and it has longer grip frame with a square backed trigger guard. The grip frame forward of the trigger guard is identical.

    I have an El Paso Threepersons for my Flattop .44 Spl. I called them and they fixed me up. The frame size is close to a Colt New Frontier

    The Super Blackhawk has a steel grip frame as opposed to aluminum grip frame of the NM Blackhawk, if I recollect correct.

    The New Vaquero and Flat Top are the same frame size, so I would suggest specifying a New Vaquero when you order.

    The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.
    There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand.
