Shot my Ruger new Blackhawk today in 41Mag. Made up some loads using 15.3gr of AA #7 and Hornady 210gr XTPs. Not the hottest load but on the upper end of the spectrum.

Gun is very peppy compared to a 357 but my only issue was those crappy Ruger checkered grips. The checkering was tearing up the palm of my right hand.

Anyone else have this issue with the Ruger Blackhawks?

The same pistol in 45 Long Colt wasn't near as bad.

thanks
