I kow the .44 mag has a snappy recoil, but what would be the recoil of a Ruger Blackhawk .44mag with a 10.5" barrel? Also what can I expect with the accuracy of the Blackhawk?

why every body says the 44 mag has bad recoil i will never understand
my superblackhawk with a 7.5" barrel will out shoot me but the recoil is not bad i shoot it off handed some times and with one hand never had a problem mine doesn't have a scope yet as i can still See the iron sights quite good

The recoil of a 44 mag really isnt that bad I think maybee one time I shot one with really beefed up loads that packed a kick.The kick of a Blackhawk with a 10.5 barrel wouldnt be that bad.

The single action Ruger Super Blackhawks handles recoil quite well. Because of its grip shape the gun just rolls upward in a smooth manner, and you don't feel much of the "whip" as you do on guns like the S&W model 29.

the felt recoil all tho brisk is manageable.i weigh 150 and have no problems. and with the micro adjustable rear sight accuracy at 25 yards is quite good ,slap on a pistol scope and the possibilities are truly remarkable,i believe the 10.5 barrel was limited to the srm model [1981-4] chambered for the 357 mag. susceptible to gas erosion so less than 10,000 were made

If a 90 pound 10-year-old can accurately shoot a Super Blackhawk with full power loads, you can.
Blackhawks and Super Blackhawks can generally provide more accuracy than the crank yanking the trigger can use. (I include myself in that generalization.)
I won't tell you that you won't be able to tell the difference between that long Super Blackhawk and a .38 with wadcutters, but it won't be bad. That scope you plan to add will have a recoil dampening effect as well.

Two handed grip and firm footing; no problem. The grips sort of roll in your hand and are actually quite comfortable. 44 mag is not the most accurate of rounds; Elmer Keith in the 50's took the 44 special; which was and is a very accurate round; and stretched the case to make the magnum. It sounds very macho but accuracy went to hell.

A firm stance with your legs apart and a two handed grip is called for. Other than that you will do just fine. Not need to worry about a trip to the ER to get stitches in your forehead, or anything like that..(Just don't try a Dirty Harry and shoot it one handed)
Accuracy is totally dependant on the shooter's ability, not the firearm. Ruger makes a fine handgun in the Blackhawk series, and it has a great reputation as a capable gun, in the right hands.....

It is going to have some snap to it, but a firm two-hand grip should manage it. The Ruger Blackhawk (like any modern firearm) is as accurate as the shooter.
Best.

The Blackhawk has plenty of weight to it, and if you put a huge length of pipe on the end, even more so. Moreover, the Colt-like single-action shape lets it roll up comfortably. It'll be a pussycat compared to the Smith 29. It may not be quite as accurate out of the box, but you can expect it'll be more than adequate.
