GO ON RUGERS WEBSITE...THE BARREL IS 4.2"...I REPEAT 4.2" BARREL. (Jeff even says so in his video).
Califorina also now requries handguns to have 4.2" barrels so that is a good thing for us at least.
Are you sure that law applies to revolvers? I don't think so.
Take Care

If your reffering to Canadian Law? Then yes, that law does apply as the miniumum barrel length for non 12.6 license holders.
This will be a sweet gun! Can't wait for it to be avaliable. The Canadian Ruger distributer is really sucking the hind tit right now though. We are still waiting for redhawks from 2010 to arrive, so I don't have much hope on these rushing into the country anytime soon

A while back, from the estate of an old shooting buddy, I made arrangements and acquired his earlier production SP 101, 4" and 22LR.
Eventually, I may try and pick up one of the latest production models in 357 Mag, but in the meantime I picked up a GP 100, 4", as a
partner to keep the SP 101 company.

One of the benefits of taking early retirement. Gives me time to acquire 'toys'
and play with them. Another quick shot of the pair, fully clothed.

Couldn't tell you but a quick check of the Sturm Ruger website and it appears they are still available in 22LR.

Wow I love the size of that gun... I don't suppose the 5 shot 357mag would be too much bigger. I want it so bad I am thinking about calling an importer.

I 'assume' it is about the same size. Also, I 'believe' there have been some improvements or changes over the earlier production models like the one I have. In addition to the barrel length, I see the latest chambered in 22LR is 8 shot compared to mine which is six. To me, these two changes are secondary when compared to the improvement to the rear sight. Definately a move in the right direction.

I just acquired a 4.2" Redhawk in 45 Colt from a dealer down east and they had both 44 Mag. and 45 Colt as being available on their website....

John Peterson, you have some nice revolvers. Oh to have 12.6, I got into this game way too late.
Shooters Choice Waterloo and they still list the 4.2 in 44 Mag. and 45.
It landed on my doorstep 4 days after I hung the phone up.... amazing as it usually takes a week to 10 for any parcel mail from Ontario.
Sorry for the hi-jack..
