I had a crash course in these frames when I sent a 3-screw in to Ruger, who said they couldn't repair it and offered me a free New Model instead. If the barrel is the long one, then the statement about grip frames is accurate- to the best of my knowledge. To say that Super BlackHawk grip frame are different from Blackhawk isn't 100% accurate- at least with New Model versions. And then there are Hunter or Bisley grip frames as well. Over 5.5' tend to have the squared knuckle 'dragoon' type trigger guard. 5.5' and shorter tend to use the same grip frame as the regular Blackhawk. I do know that there are two different Super Blackhawk grip frames. However, I don't know if this was in relation to black powder revolvers, or to all revolvers, or if Ruger adapted their brass frame to handle the pressure- better than others did. I seem to recall warnings about use of brass grip frames on single-action revolvers and 'max' loads- as in, the brass frame may not handle it well. The only knowledge I have is more of a question than definitive knowledge: Are the brass grip frames as strong as the aluminum or steel ones? I don't know anything specific to Ruger brass grip frames. I have the new models of the Ruger single- actions: no old models. Unfortunately, the individual who originally spoke to me about the subject is no longer alive to ask again.Д®dit: After posting I did a quick search, and there does seem to be some additional information available. But that's the best I can do, and I can't guarantee the accuracy of the information I provided since it's second hand.

I was hoping someone with better knowledge than myself would chime in with more accurate information. There may also exist some brass Blackhawk grip frames that were supplied by other companies. Those will not bring nearly the same premium as one originally supplied with a brass grip frame by Ruger. Since Ruger also supplied individual brass grip frames, some owners and gunsmiths replaced the aluminum grip frames with brass ones on some Blackhawks. And I'm not knowledgeable enough to know how that's accurately determined. But realizing the premium also necessitates some evidence that Ruger actually originally built a given Blackhawk with the brass grip frame. Original models built and shipped with brass grip frames will bring significant premiums to Ruger collectors. I believe there might have even been some sort of model number suffix or marking on the original boxes indicating a brass grip frame on some of them.

Subsequent to those models being built, at least one individual was able to examine Ruger records and 'authenticate' certain models, by serial number, that were built and shipped by Ruger with brass grip frames. The brass grip frame ones weren't really marketed as a distinct model, so production numbers weren't well kept. Ruger also sold small numbers of individual brass grip frames. Models with brass grip frames were supplied in very limited numbers, and I believe the brass grip frames were used for a short time because of a shortage of aluminum ones.
