Here is the new Ruger Redhawk 2.75" barrel .41 Magnum.
Trigger pull averages 5lbs 15oz with no creep. Sights came adjusted all the way down and most of the way left so it took a couple shots to get it on paper. When I got the sights set pretty close I was able to get the sights, the center of the target and trigger break to all line up at the same time on occasion
Target shot from 15 yards, single action two hands unsupported.
The gaps between the frame and crane are a little uneven and large.
Cylinder throats are all the same at .410 and the front has been chamfered.
Barrel to cylinder gap measures .007" and there is .005" endshake.
Muzzle is nicely finished with a deep crown.
Overall I am somewhat disappointed with the fit and finish of this one vs. the 4.2" Redhawk from a few months ago. The trigger out of the box is better than the 4.2 was but will still need work.
It is one big little gun with a lot of potential.
KO
