That's actually a model 38. The 37 is also aluminum framed but has an exposed hammer like the model 36 Chief's Special. I have the steel framed version model 49.

Ruger New Model Blackhawk Convertible 357 Mag / 9 mm c/w Altamont faux Stag Grips - Note 9 mm cylinder not shown.
I like the Cowboy 6-shooter looksof the faux Stag grips a lot more than the basic black factory grips. The Altamont grips have a bit more bulk and feel better in my hands. Compilating ordering another set of Altamont grips in a wood laminate.

Go big or go home eh, Cobra?
You will certainly appreciate the ported barrel / muzzle brake on that 460. I also have a S&W 460 heavily ported and the recoil and muzzle flip is very tame shooting 460 and 454 Cassul loads. Looking forward to taking it to Pennsylvania deer hunting.Well, I figured I might need to take out a grizzly bear hiding behind a car at some point so, you know, best to be prepared![]()
