Since the New Model Blackhawk .357 is built on the same frame and cylinder as the Super Blackhawk, you would have to run it mighty hard to do any real damage. tubeshooter is correct that you can wear one out, but you can wear out anything if you use it enough!

But as far as "breaking" it, I believe you'll find that to be a tall order. Probably the only guns stronger than a NMBH in .357 are a Redhawk .357 or Freedom Arms 87 .357.
