Then there were about60 Cleanup guns made a few years later, and had to be shipped to Lipsey's since this was an exclusive offered by them originally.

The 45 Colt new Model Super Blackhawk Hunter is not very well known. Parts cleanups, are Guns made when Ruger decides they are stocking to many parts of a certian type. Yep they are made every year in different calibers and configuration! It's a 45 that will handle heavy loads for sure. Don't pay full Ruger retail as listed on their website. You might shop around and find one a little cheaper. The price sounds about what new ones are going for.
If it's advertised as new, it's new, and in 45 colt it's a Blackhawk not a 'super'.
