I used to have the Super in .44 Mag now the Blackhawk in .41.
The alloy part of the Blackhawk (grip frame) is a benefit over the all steel blue--I'll tell you why.
I had problems with screws coming loose on the grip frame of the Super along with RUST from the back of my hand along the rear stirrup. All steel blue shakes loose (use loctite) in time, but the aluminum keeps those screws tight because of the softer bedding when they are seated. Secondly, no rust problems or worry about sweat on the aluminum blued grip stirrups.
Thirdly, the gun is a bit lighter and that makes it nicer for me.
Fourthly, the ejector housing, also being aluminum instead of steel, stays put by the screw near the muzzle without me having to re tighten THAT--again, when the grip and ejector rod housing are of the heavier all steel metal you will have problems keeping ALL screws tight so use loctite if you go that route.
