Ruger Super Blackhawk
Photos by Oleg Volk, of course.
This belongs to the SiL although the BiL still believes it is his gun.
And the obligatory Pew Pic
And that was a mild Cowboy load which made recoil maybe a tad harsher than a .38 Special.

Beautiful piece. Gotta admit, though, at first glance I thought there was some rust.
Re whose gun it is ... I still miss my first 1911. It was mine right up until Mrs B took a shot with it. She still lets me clean it, though, so there's that.
That second photo is a nice demonstration that the cylinder-barrel gap is not gas tight, and you should not keep your fingers in that area. I learned it the hard way, with a Mini Revolver where that mistake is a whole lot harder to avoid.
