Moon clipped my .45 Redhawk

I sent a spare cylinder to TK custom the same day they announced the factory offering, I like the factory gun but I think I will like these grips better with heavier loads.
The factory moonclipped Redhawk with the barrel shortened to 2.5" will be next on my list.

Nice family photo

Looks good! So you're running .45 ACP, Win Mag and Colt in it?

Thats a possibility I'll probably only use it with 45acp and colt I don't have very much win mag brass

Very nice gun.

Those are all nice looking guns. I like the stag grips a lot.

Beauty meets Machine. Form meets function. Perfect blend. I concur with Kevin on the grips. Wow.

Nice! I'm planning on having my 3" SP-101 cylinder cut for moon clips (9mm, obviously) after my vacation next month. I need it for my ride through the Ozarks and don't want to risk having it not come back in time for that trip but once I get back the cylinder is going in the mail.

I'll probably still shoot .357 most of the time but it's nice to have the option of .357, .38, or 9mm in one gun.

They have very quick turn time I sent my cylinder in on a Thursday and got it back the next Wensday

I keep coming back to look at this. That square butt just looks better IMO than the new round butt...

New RH clips are crap. Also does not work with standard 45 clips from 1917 etc. probably should have sent old cylinder out to TK

I just talked to TK they are going to start making clips to fit the Ruger

So much for Ruger insight and ideas. New RH is a nice 45 Colt. May go to OGCA allow someone to experience.

Glad that cylinder worked out for you, Rich44. I like those grips too. Did you mention where you found them?

Thanks again it worked out perfectly, it also fit in all three of my .45 Redhawks.
I picked those grips up on gunbroker I believe, but wherever it was the same guy had a couple more sets

I recently had my cylinder reamed to .452. I wish I would have had it set up for moon clips. I like the idea and I have several moon clips from a 625 I sold awhile back. Would the moon clips from the Smith work in a Redhawk? second questions. The ballistics of the .45 Win Mag is it hotter then a load like Buffalo Bullets or Cor Bon in a .45 Colt?

Sold my 4" Redhawk 44, and miss it a lot. Local private sale has a SRH Alaskan in 454 casull and obviously 45LC. Now I See a factory 4" RH in 45ACP w/moon clips and 45LC is available. Can't buy both, and am focused on hardware that fits 45ACP and 45LC, but like the idea of an Alaskan. Think there is any way to moon the Alaskan 454?
BTW, not trying to hijack.

TK custom can cut the cylinder on the 454 Alaskan for moonclips

TJK did both of mine, well worth having done.
