I've generally been under the impression that stainless Ruger Blackhawks have the heavier steel grip-frame and ejector-rod housing, while the blued models have these parts made of aluminum. When comparing the weights given on the Ruger website for the 6.5" .357 Blackhawks, I found that they are both supposedly 48 ounces--meanwhile, blued .45 Colt model is five ounces lighter than its stainless counterpart. Does Ruger make the blued .357 Blackhawk with the heavier steel parts, or is that an error on their website?
