Redhawk .454 Casull

Can someone tell me about a 4-inch Redhawk that is a 5-shot .454 Casull? Seen one in a store and can't find if it was a special run for one of Rugers's distributors, or what. Really can't find any info at all...

Since you and I talked today, I did find a distributor exclusive 5" Super Redhawk in .454. If they can do it with the Super Redhawk, they could certainly do it with a Redhawk.

WAYNO.

I can't find anything else either....only references to SRH or custom built Redhawks.

Wow! Two blasts from my past. :mrgreen:

WAYNO.

It is definitely not a factory piece, but I am interested, if you're not!
Been wanting to do a 454 Redhawk, but if one is available, please PM me the details, and I'll check it out
Thanks

I don't think it's a distributor run, or a Ruger special run, but I do know of people that have gotten a 454 Cylinder and switched out cylinders on a 45 Colt. I've considered that myself but consider it a waste of money. I'm still probably going to shoot the Buffalo Bore 45 Colt HC 325 grainers. They will leave a mark on anything.

LOL, I sneak in every once in a while. Redstick called yesterday about the 454 and really had my curiosity up tonight. Hope all is well and you are staying warm over there. Going to be cold here tonight but 40 on Monday. Crazy!

You can't just lengthen the chamber of a .45 Colt Redhawk w/4" bbl? 8)

A five shot .454 would have to be a custom job.

CraigC nailed it. If someone had switched cylinders from a Super Redhawk it would be 6 shot. It possibly could be something Bowen, Clements or Huntington built but think it would be marked as such by them.

Turns out it was a .45 Colt/.45 acp Redhawk, not .454 Casull. What a disappointment!

How is it they miscounted the number of chambers?

Well, got my driveway all shoveled off just in case Ruger comes out with any .454 Redhawks!

I've been wanting one of those. Definitely don't want a .454 again.
