New 4" production Redhawk

[meeko]

Does anyone have a picture of the new 4" Redhawk Ruger announced? I surfed their site and couldn't find any. now if they just reintroduce it in 41 Mag and 45 Colt.

[DJ Niner]

I just bought a Ruger gun magazine which details all their new offerings, but the 4" Redhawk shown was a factory prototype, not a final production model. I'm eager to see it too.

How about a contest to see who can find pics of it first?
Post'em here when you find them! :)

Davidson's "Gallery Of Guns" has a place-holder for it, but no photo yet (use Power Search to find it; apparently, no linking is allowed). It also states that this will be an allocated item, so only Davidson's bigger retailers will get some (initially).

I used to have this one, aint production but it was pretty cool to shoot, pretty accurate too
had a 8 inch barrel but i had it trimmed to 2 & 7/8 inches and had it crowned plus a new sight built, it shot ok

It has a cute, pug-nosed look to it. I like it!

How was it recoil-wise?

[AusShane]

Actually it was pretty nice to shoot, i used to load my own rounds and use the odd box of factory stuff, any factory 240gn stuff i found started to hurt after a while but lead SWC's i loaded myself i could shoot all day or 180gn factories were fine too. The loads in that pic are 180gn XTP's loaded with 30gns of WIN 296 they didnt boot alot but it used to make a flash that would make people come running to see what it was :supergrin:

I'd love to get one in 45 colt. I kick myself for not getting one of the ss 5-1/2 inch redhawks in 45 colt when they were out a couple years ago... I may just have to buy a d*mn .44 mag, lol.

41 mag would be cool, I would thumbing through the magazine at the grocery store the other day and the pic was nice. The only thing I didn't like was the pinned front sight, I was hoping it would be like the larger redhawks and have the interchangable sights.

Hint if you find the Ruger special collector edition 2007 they have the story and photo

They only state 44mag so no 45colt or 41mag

I think that was the magazine I was looking at in the store. I didn't figure they would make one in .41, but it is nice to dream. It would be my ideal .44 magnum though. I think if I ever get another .44, I will stay away from my brother in laws handloads:supergrin:

The Ruger special addition magizine that noway, and DJ Niner spoke of, have the the pic and story.... Ruger is very bad about having an updated /current website.

Personally, i am 'very excited' about this gun. It is a 'far cry better' than the snubbie Alaskan, and looks to have a good potensial for pickup truck carry, and woods carry, and 100 yd. hunting on deer to elk with the 'right loads'. I truly believe this will be a really great gun to own. Still placing first on the list, my BH's and Vaqueros, and SBH's, I will be first in line for this new 4" model RH. I really think it will be a great hunter, as i am used to 4" models anyway, and know their potensial even out to 200yds and more.

But a 100yd deer/elk gun, this looks very good to me, not to mention a SD piece. A big :thumbsup: to Ruger on this one, "from what I see and read, and hear so far.." The proof will be in the shooting, but then i have NEVER owned a bad Ruger. ;)

Just hope it doesn't come out for a few more months in my area, as I am sinking my $$$ into 'more' recurve bows at present, this, and "life stuff" in general, has kinda drained the billfold! :supergrin:

I highly doubt Ruger will make a 45 Colt version. They made a short run of the Redhawk 5.5" SS revolver in 45 Colt and apparently there wasn't enough demand for it so they stopped making it. I wish I would have grabbed one of those when they came out and were selling for $369-$399 new at the gun shows. I actually prefer a 5 - 5.5" barrel on a big 45 Colt.

I found a PDF about it here:
Ruger 4 inch Redhawk (www.ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/PDF/NewProducts/KRH-444-A-S.pdf)

I want one!!!

I kinda like those grips. When I heard it was going to have Hogue grips on it, I figured they would be full-sized; these have that pinky-drop 3rd finger-groove setup like the Hogue Bantams for the K/L-frame S&W.

Gunblast has an article on it here
