ruger redhawk 45 acp/colt

Dammit Ruger!!! Between this and the new .454 super bird the line between want and need is getting very blurry.

Wait. What's this now?

Don't tell me! I don't wanna know...!

I am NOT buying another gun.

Bump.


So? Have any of you guys made this mistake yet?

Oh boy. They have one over at P&D and I feel a fit of stupid coming on....

Couldn't care less about using it as 45 acp (that's why I have an HK 45), but definitely would go for the 45 colt. I've seen the one in 45 colt only though, and the Hogue grips on it are just about the ugliest grips I've ever seen. I like the wood grips on this one much better

I agree with you about the Hogue grips being ugly. But they are easily replaced with the factory rosewood grips. Mine looks much better with them

Where can you get the factory wood grips? And is the grip frame the same profile or is it the profile of the 44 redhawks?

sorry for not getting back to you sooner on this
I got mine from Brownells, the grip frame is the same, but you need to get the grip panel locator for it as well, cost is only a few dollars
