41 blastin

Got a chance today to shoot my two 41's. Ruger New Model Blackhawk 6.5" blued w/ hogue monogrips, and Ruger Redhawk 5.5" ss w/ original woodgrips. I was shooting my hunting loads with 210 gr speer gold dots. I know the hogue grip is ugly but it sure does feel great. I'm not sure if I'll get one for the redhawk or not, probably will

Blackhawk on left ----- Redhawk on right

50 yards off table



25 yards off table



20 yards freehand standing



I love these guns.


here you can see how my pinky finger hangs off the redhawk with wood grips and rides smoothly on the hogue monogrip bottom.

Pretty good shooting but bet if you change your load up you could shrink the groups some more.

The only 41 I ever shot was a S&W with 8 3/8th" barrel. Man the 41 is a sweet round. We was shooting a barrel at about 150 yards with it.

Ruger has some nice handguns but wish they would make a couple not so beefy.

Factory or handloads? Just got a 4 5/8" blackhawk. I want to work up some loads for it. Do you have a load that is working for you yet?

I Currently have 4 Ruger SA (2-45colt, 357, 22lr) and 1 DA (sp101) and I keep thinking how I need a 41mag.

I think that redhawk of yours might have pushed me over the edge.

That is a nice looking gun.

If you're really wanting a redhawk in 41, I have a line on a blued 5.5" version. Let me know.

Beautiful guns.

Nice guns. I would love to have a .41 but I sure don't need another caliber to load for.

Thanks, but bad timing. Spent too much $ over the holidays. A BLUED redhawk would be awsome though

I just traded for my first 41. It's a ss redhawk 7 1/2 hunter model, I haven't fired it yet, I intend to load for it, any suggestions on bullet and powder would be appreciated. Thanks

Wish Hogue had made that grip when I had my .41 Blackhawk. The rear of the trigger guard would have me bleeding everytime I shot it.

Good enough for deer, nice guns!

I did shoot a few cylinders full. I need to get serious about a load for them though. I've been shooting my hunting loads with speer gold dots.
