I got to go to the range today with my ruger redhawk. man what a gun!!!! the scope was dead on but the thought of how much recoil i might have had me little shakey. after a few shots things went from i don't know to i love this bird. this has got to be the most fun i have had with a wheel gun. i hope my Henry big boy in 44mag is just as easy to shoot and enjoy. do think shooting both of them the same day will overload my excitement box? xd40.....

You can look forward to having fun with your Redhawk for many years to come as I have over 200,00 rounds in my that I bought back in 1988, I recently sent my in into Ruger's for some work after telling them that I handload and a lot of them were of the hot verity and they s did the work at no charge and did not change my trigger job. for more info go to rugerforum.com Its a freesite and worth its weight in gold.

I totally agree. There is just something about a BIG handgun. I have the Super Redhawk in 454. That is the greatest. Do you handload or cast your own? I cast my own 300 grain bullets and they are deadly accurate. Welcome to the Big Guns.

The only thing I did not like about my Redhawk (45) when I bought it was the grips (too small). I put a set of wood Houges with the butt cap on it and I love it!

Wow, great grips. Hogues huh? I need to look into those.

I bought Rugers 4 inch version of the Redhawk 44mag earlier this year. It came with Houge rubber grips from the factory, which I didn't like, so I picked up a set of rosewood grips. Over at the Ruger forum they are saying that the 4 incher will be offered in 45lc this year. I hope they are right. (http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q166/Timo444/100_1639.jpg)

I love 300 Gr. cast bullets and would like to cast my own but living in nothern Michigan with tie snow up to my butt makes it kind of hard, Ihave been trying to get a company in misouri to make them for me but they want to kno how many people will buy them . Are they kidding! ;D

I love my 4-incher! You'll see it on SG next season. Hamilton Bowne and I are working on the 56-50 Redhawk snubbie...

Michael if you've really got a four incher, sorry to hear that. :-[I'm not sure anybody wants to see it. :D :D

That got personal! ;D

I've had my Redhawk since '85 and it has seen just about every type of ammo. I've reloaded bullets as small as 180 and as heavy as 300 and vever had a problem with anything. The gun's grip was a little small for me so I change to Pac's and love them. I have used it for everything, I every shoot bowling pins with it for a year.

Hey- when a guy starts bragging he's fair game!

That Redhawk with a 4 inch BARREL (Jaybeth) looks real handy and mean. I LIKEY!

Yeah, man...what's not to like? It's all shiny, looks really powerful with the shorter barrel, AND the grips are beautiful.

Gunman1911- you can get a great 300grain Cast bullet mold from Lee. It is the 300 grain LRNFN. Shoots great inmy 454 Casull Super Redhawk. Give it a try. It is worth the time it takes to make your own. Let me know how they shoot.

Are you talking about your own style of bullet or just someone to get cast bullets from?
I get my cast bullets from Montana Bullet Works. Great people to deal with! And good selection
