I posted earlier on this topic with Ruger single action stuff but there's been some suggestions on Ruger Redhawk models. Double action guns. Got me curious so I went on the hunt for the Redhawk in 45 LC / 45 ACP with the 4.2" bbl. Found one, ordered it last week, picked it up at my candy store yesterday. Ain't shot it yet but I like the grip, balance, even the sight radius which I was concerned about. My wife likes the grip of the gun although it's a bit heavy for her (like my Bisley 45's). Now I'm thinking I gotta consider another chest rig...I just found out about the Redhawk in 45 colt/ACP and they come with a 4.2 inch barrel. I am going to continue searching for a 5 inch 454 and your information was very helpful. But the 45 colt Redhawk is a good option if I can't find one shortly, it can take loads that I would say are stout enough for bear and moose. I wouldn't be able to chamber the 454 cartridges I typically keep in my rifle but my rifle feeds and shoots the 45 colt very well and buffalo bore +p is loaded pretty close to 454.
Good stuff! Here's hoping you find what you are looking for.
