Ruger Redhawk .45ACP/Colt 4.25"!!!

[mark k]

I missed too many opportunities to buy a new S&W 625, but I'm not letting this one go.

 

[Mark-II]

That's a new model? sweet! I'll be in for one too.

There's just something about 45 cal revolvers.

Was JUST looking at this - any idea who the best bet is on the supplier we should be watching, to get first kick at this can?

Those 4.2 inch Ruger Redhawk are ssssweet revolvers, i am in for one to... JP.

 

[Nestor]

That's just awesome! Lever action in 45 Colt to match it and one is good to go.

 

[Mark-II]

Hopefully the dealer thinks to bring in clips as well.

I've never had a Redhawk, but it they are anything like my plain jane GP100 it will be very nice.

The gun comes with four moon clips I believe. Now the question is when will they cross the 49th. I want one!.

Cool if it was a smith I personally dislike how bulky ruger revolvers look

Take a look at the video Canuck44 posted above. It looks a lot sleeker than you'd expect.

Pretty damn ideal for nearly anything actually.

A couple of years ago, I got the opportunity to go a 'somewhat' similar route. At a gun show in Naniamo, I picked up a 4 5/8" SS Ruger Blackhawk convertable in 45LC/45ACP.

While searching for something else I noticed that North Sylva was responsible for getting a special run of Smiths made with 4.25" bbls

Might be an idea to swamp them with requests for a 4.25" 625 and see if we can get it done.

It is true; the Rugers are often bulkier, especially in the grip. I have smaller hands and wouldn't buy one unless I could hold it first.

 

[Dsiwy]

Neat but prefer the Blackhawk 45 convertible.

 

[caramel]

My Flattop Blackhawk convertible 45 ACP/ 45 Colt is an awsome SA... JP.

Here are the comparative specs for the Red Hawk and 625

Ruger S&W
Barrel 4.2” 4.0”
Wgt. 44.0oz 42.0oz
Twist 1:16RH 1:16RH
$$ $1029.00US $1079.00US

My GP-100 is actually lighter than my 686 with the same barrel lengths. This Ruger likely will have a better trigger out of the box than the Smith. Too, it shoots both the 45 Colt and 45acp.

My Ruger Super Redhawk 4,2 inch 44 Mag have a delightfull trigger both in DA and SA... JP.

I don't want to pee on your parade but if that Redhawk has a better trigger out of the box it will probably be the first and only one that is ever made.

On another note Ruger makes a very good gun just the same.

My gp100 has a better stock DA trigger than any Smith that hasn't been tweaked and lightened

SA is the opposite, with the exception of some of the new Smiths that aren't anything special.
