Picked this up today. I'll take it to the range Friday and put a few round through it. Ruger Redhawk .44 mag.

That's a nice one Jake! Looks like 7.5 barrel? I have the Super Blackhawk I picked up some years ago.

nice Jake .... very nice indeed .... ours has fired untold thousands of rounds and is still remarkably tight .... you can get a spring kit that will allow you to adjust your trigger pull ... with full power loads, its recoil is more than my arthritic right hand can handle for more than a few rounds .... at reduced level loads she's still fun to fire

Very nice. I have one just like it that I got when they first came out except I put bigger grips on.

Very nice. I always thought I would like a Redlhawk with a 5 1/2" barrel but already have two Super Blackhawks in .44 magnum.

Anticipating the shooting report.

I’d like to have either the red or Blackhawk, both are built indestructible.

we've owned both and you are absolutely correct .... the major issue I had with our Blackhawk was its western style grip .... when firing full power loads its barrel jump would rotate the grip in my hand to where I had to reestablish my grip between every shot
