I have a Ruger Super Bleckhawk in .44Mag.

It is up for sale in EE not because I don't love it anymore but rather because I have big meat hooks and the grip on the gun seems so tiny and uncomfortable for me.
Is there anywhere that that sells and bigger grip for it? And if there is, do they go over top of the handle steel?

Altamont makes "Oversized Fingergroove Super Rosewood Crocback" and "Oversized Fingergroove Super Walnut" grips for the Super Blackhawk. Looks like they might cover the back strap as well.

The grips on my new 7.5" Super Blackhawk Factory look good :), but did not feel so good when using full magnum reloads. I need a little more to hang on to. The factory ones have no checkering, nothing to enhance your grip. I have a set of Faux Stag grips 'in the mail' from Altamont. I found the Faux Stag grips to be a little more 'filling' in my hands compared to the factory grips on my Single Six and Blackhawk. Hoping for the same thing with the SBH.

I used the larger Hogue rubber oversize grips on a couple of New Model 44 Mag. Super Blackhawks I had and found them to be comfortable with their bigger bulk and finger grooves, and stopped any "hammer bite" I got using the slippery factory grips. They also prevented beating up the second finger from the recoil whacking the trigger guard into it. They don't cover the backstrap though.
The downside was that as these big calibre "hog-leg" design single action revolvers have a designed taper in the grip-frame meant to enable them to move in your hand with the factory grips, with the Hogues you're taking all the recoil on the web between thumb and forefinger so you do feel it more.
My best accuracy load for them was the old, no longer recommended, Elmer Keith load using 2400 powder, which had pretty wicked recoil.

There are two different grip/frame sizes for the Superblackhawk's..... not super easy to get but try and track down a Superblackhawk Hunter grip frame if you want the classic plow shaped grip but longer.
