Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this stunning single-action revolver for a penny-start auction; this is the Ruger Turnbull New Model Super Blackhawk TALO Distributor Exclusive.
The Turnbull Super Blackhawk .44 Mag, 1 of 1000 (Item #0819), stands as a striking fusion of Ruger’s rugged single-action legacy and Turnbull Restoration Co.’s traditional craftsmanship. Produced in early 2017 through a coordinated effort between Turnbull and Ruger’s Newport, New Hampshire facility, this limited TALO edition showcases authentic 19th-century bone-and-charcoal color case hardening, resulting in vivid, period-correct hues that elevate the revolver beyond standard production models. With special serial numbers ranging from TSB001 to TSB1000 and distinctive packaging, it was conceived as a premium, low-volume offering—one that balances functional heritage with collector-grade presentation and is widely regarded as a future factory collectible.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ruger New Model Super Blackhawk occupies a distinctive place in the lineage of American single-action revolvers, blending classic Western aesthetics with modern manufacturing sensibilities. Introduced as a refinement of Ruger’s earlier Blackhawk designs, it reflects the company’s long-standing emphasis on strength, durability, and mechanical simplicity. Its visual language—marked by a robust frame, pronounced grip profile, and traditional single-action layout—clearly nods to 19th-century revolvers, yet it is unmistakably a product of the late 20th century in terms of materials and engineering philosophy. Ruger’s use of modern steel alloys and investment casting techniques allowed the Super Blackhawk to be built with a reputation for exceptional structural integrity, helping to define it as a serious, purpose-built revolver rather than a purely nostalgic reproduction. Over time, it has become emblematic of Ruger’s approach to firearms design: respectful of tradition, but unapologetically practical.

From a broader analytical perspective, the New Model Super Blackhawk is often discussed as a study in balance between form, function, and identity within the revolver market. Its heft and proportions communicate power and stability, while its single-action operation emphasizes deliberate, measured use rather than speed or convenience. The “New Model” designation itself is significant, signaling Ruger’s transition to internal design changes that enhanced safety and usability without altering the outward character of the revolver. As a result, the Super Blackhawk has earned a reputation not only among enthusiasts of large-frame revolvers, but also among collectors and historians who see it as a bridge between eras. It stands as an example of how a firearm can remain culturally resonant by preserving iconic design elements while quietly incorporating modern expectations of reliability and manufacturing consistency.
