The Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk® Model 0811 is a classic single-action revolver chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, combining traditional western-style handling with rugged stainless-steel construction. Featuring a 5.50-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, six-round capacity, satin stainless finish, hardwood grips, and adjustable sights, Model 0811 offers a more compact alternative to Ruger’s longer-barreled Super Blackhawk configurations.
Chambered in the powerful .44 Remington Magnum, the 0811 is also designed to accept factory .44 Special ammunition. Ruger specifically notes that .44 Special provides milder recoil while maintaining excellent accuracy, giving shooters additional ammunition flexibility within the same revolver.
The revolver features a 5.50-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:20" right-hand twist and six grooves. Ruger’s cold hammer-forging process produces precise rifling designed to deliver excellent accuracy and long barrel life. The 5.5-inch configuration also keeps overall length to 11.38 inches, providing a handier package than the 7.5-inch Model 0802.
Model 0811 is manufactured from stainless steel and finished in Satin Stainless, providing excellent durability while giving the revolver a clean, traditional appearance. Ruger pairs the stainless construction with attractive hardwood grips and its classic western-style, hand-filling grip profile.
For sighting, Ruger equips the 0811 with a fixed ramp front sight and fully adjustable rear sight. This setup allows the shooter to regulate the sights for different ammunition loads and distances while retaining the traditional profile of the Super Blackhawk.
The revolver incorporates Ruger’s transfer-bar mechanism and loading-gate interlock, providing modern safety features within the traditional single-action operating system. Ruger also uses durable coil springs throughout the revolver for dependable operation.
At 45 ounces, Model 0811 has enough mass to complement its .44 Magnum chambering while remaining three ounces lighter than the 7.5-inch Model 0802. For customers looking for a classic Ruger .44 Magnum with stainless construction, hardwood grips, adjustable sights, and a more manageable 5.5-inch barrel, the New Model Super Blackhawk 0811 is an excellent choice.
