I got a NIB Redhawk last week. Went with the .45 Colt 4".
Just a couple of observations. This is not my first Ruger revolver. I have a GP 100 1/2 shroud.
When I picked it up, I did not notice the rear sight was loose for the windage. Come to find out, there was no spring for the rear sight blade. To the credit of Ruger, they have one in the mail. Next is the trigger and I have no complaints, it is very nice! In the area of grips, I do not like the looks of the Hogues but they may be functional. The factory wood is nice but I don't think they work with the HKS speedloaders.
That brings me to upgrades. After ordering the new OEM rear sight spring, I discovered the Bowen Rough Country sight and pulled out the CC. Now to find something better for the front with my old eyes. I am going to try the Ruger Alaskan Outfitter holster as it seems to be what I am looking for while backpacking.
Seems like a great gun and can't wait to get the sight issue squared away so I can put some rounds down range.
Wonder what the ratio of sales is in relation to .45 vs. .44? Seems like a lot of folks are going for the .45... It made sense to me because I have the dies and a .45 BH convertible.
