Ruger Redhawk

Happened to drop by a local shop today and found this laying on the counter. Didn't realize how oddball it was till I got home and did some reading. It's a 5 1/2" Redhawk in .357 Mag. From what I have read so far Ruger started chambering the Redhawk in .357 in 1984 and discontinued it prior to the introduction of the GP-100 in 1986. Around 5000 were made. This one is a 1984 model.

Would make a great hunting companion!

I have it's twin! These things are built like tanks and feel like a .22 in your hand even with the hottest magnums. You will like it!

J.B.

Shot a few .38 wadcutters in it and there was practically no recoil. Can't wait to see how it groups.

i'm going to take a day off and go with you to them pawn shops, you sure know how to find a jewel. No arguement, Ruger makes the toughest revolvers out there, you did good.

You find all the cool toys. Since no one has called it yet, i call dibs. Would go great with my 1894 you are gonna sell me. :-x

Built like a tank, just never found em particularly attractive LOL. Nice find those redhawks are really popular and have good resale. A vet my BIL practices with used a 44 mag version to put down animals til he cut a utility line with it!

All I know was he put down a cow with it, and the clinic got a fat bill from the utility company to cover damages. Just happened to be under the cows head....some kind of luck LOL.

Oh crap. Thats my luck
