I have a Redhawk that I purchased new in 1983 or 84. It's a 44 mag. with 7.5" barrel. My problem is, after shooting less than a box of ammo, the cylinder starts to drag and it becomes difficult to cock In single action, forget about double action.
I checked the gap and a 2 thousandths gauge fit a little tight. Once it gets powder fouling, it becomes difficult to cock so it gets put away. I've decided to take it out of the safe and take it shooting again with some reloads. I'm going to clean the front of the cylinder and back of barrel with fine steel wool and hopefully I can shoot longer without issues. Does anybody have any advice or suggestions?
