Ruger Redhawk fans?

[EasEWryder]

What a beauty! Super slick mods.

Yes, love my Redhawk in 44 mag with a 7.5" barrel:

• Slicked up by a now retired revolversmith at WSI in Bellevue (now closed)
• Added a red fiber optic front sight
• Had it machined for moon clips by TK Customs too for faster reloads (uses SW 629/29 moon clips)
• Love shooting at 25-50 yards.

Also love their other revolvers:
GP100 in 22lr
GP100 Match Champion in 10mm
LCR in 9mm

Some people might think I am a Redhawk fan.

Yes as a matter of fact, my wife does think I have a problem.

if you don't mind me asking where did you get the holster or did you make it yourself? how well does it carry?

I use Pachmayr grips on my Ruger Redhawk SS, 7.5" and Security Six SS, 6". I just bought a set of pachmayr decelerator grips for my Redhawk to replace the Presentation grips.

The Pachmayr grips seem to be the best fitting for me.

Just want you to know that I bought my Redhawk in Berlin in the R&GC there, run by Hartmut Rabel, back in 1981, and I shot it many many times between then and early 1997, when I had to decide whether to have it destroyed on hand-in, or deactivated.

I chose deactivation.

Of course, since it was no longer 'on the streets' as the then-Prime Minister, Tony B Liar, gloated, it was never used in the commission of any kind of criminality, but then the owner was a senior Army officer, and most unlikely to break the law, but hey, it's good copy, right?

Hold on, it was NEVER 'on the streets...'

The Red Hawks and Super Redhawks are very different models with different balances and different action designs. The grip choices for Redhawks are very limited. I ended up going with the Super Redhawk because I can find a grip that fits my hand.

I just switched them over for that very same reason. It took a bit to find older ones without medallions that were still new, but I scored a set. Definitely handles better for me.

Nice set of Pachmayr Presentation grips. I don't think that I have ever seen a set without the medallion - score! This is what I just bought and have yet to try replacing my Presentation grips.

Always been a Ruger fan, especially the Black Hawks and the R.O.A. but I also really like the Red Hawks and the GP-101 series for carry duty!

The grip exactly why I sold mine. If it had the same grip as the Super Redhawk it would have been the best field revolver IMO. Loved it, shot it well, took it on dozens and dozens of back country adventures. It just never fit my hand right with any grip options.

Exactly. A 7 1/2" Redhawk was my first .44 mag. I never even fired it. I couldn't find a grip that fit me. I had owned many revolvers, and had never had that situation arise before.

My hands are huge for a female but medium size for males. I have huge wrists too--too large to wear female jewelry. As if someone said, "Make this one female. But lets toss in a few minor modifications so she can better handle .44 mag revolvers."

I tried the pach grip i found it overly bulky. (I have above average sized hands) this fit was horrible. Took hours ti shave to just right. Only not to work for me
