They must have started making them again semi-recently.  A few years back when I was looking a Redhawk in .45 was a little rare and I THINK 5.5 was as short as they got.

Only thing I don't like about the 4 is the rubber grip.
The grip should be easy to fix yeah? I mean its a standard grip frame and if you just want wood it shouldn't be too hard to find one. I agree the rubber is ugly. I like it on .357 and .44 mag for recoil, but its overkill on the .45s. Here's a thought. Anyone one the board good with wood (paging TAB)? A few members offered some nice holsters. I bet there would be a market for grips if you are the type that just likes this sort of project.

That's the one!

FQ - for what it's worth, the .45 Colt can be loaded pretty darn close to the .44 Mag.  I have some handloads for my Blackhawk that will make your teeth rattle...DEFINITELY NOT overkill.

I like the rubber grips for the comfort in my hand, I never noticed any real difference in recoil. I have Pachmyers on all my pistols.

BAC, 45 ACP is a decent round, and its as common as dirt. But would it still be able to use the rimmed round ?  45Colt has the advantage of being quite a bit more potent when loaded with smokeless powder, and if you run short of smokeless you can reload with black powder and still get decent performance.
I will grant you that 45 ACP in a revolver makes speed loaders unnecessary because of the clips

This place does moonclip conversions and they state ".45 LC cylinders can be cut to shoot both ACP and LC".  It seems like a nice solution, as .45 acp is a lot more affordable and available than .45 Colt (notice I didn't say long colt).

Incidentally, I have never shot a .45 Colt revolver, so if anyone has one they would like to loan me for a year or two to advance my firearms education, I'd even let you buy the ammunition.   ;D  Just a thought.

You will be surprised how mild a .45 Colt feels to shoot. Especially in a heavy gun like the Redhawk.  Doesn't really recoil at all.  Now IF ya 'load to capacity' for the Redhawk you have a real THUMPER!  I get my loads from a commercial reloader and have them done to around 1000fps for a 250 grain SJHP.  Should be  enough to make a BG regret his decision if it comes to that. ;)  Even then it is still not enough recoil to think about.  I have had him load some FMJ for hogs, 300 grain at around 1200 fps.  THOSE you will notice. ;D  (so will every one else on the range!)

I don't want to get too greedy or exotic.  Most aren't too expensive, but my budget is non-existent at the moment.

Short list:
Nice AR
Glock 20

A little farther down the list:
Benelli Super Black Eagle
S&W 460 revolver
.357 revolver
.357 lever action
Bolt action .308

Hmm.  I wonder if my insurance agent would spring for a second safe.  It's be cheaper than replacement cost of those that don't fit in the 1st safe.
