    Postal Inspector Speed Six

    Limited run for the Postal Inspectors group, supposed to be held to thighter tolerances, don't know about that but great guns. They came into the market about six years ago...I think.

    4" Redhawk in 45lc or 44mag??

    I may be late for this one (story of my life) but bigger hole is usually a better way to go, all else being equal. I've been searching for the 'best' woods gun for years and have decided, at least for this month, the 5 1/2 Redhawk in 45 Colt with Georgia Arms ammo is the ticket. I don't own a...

    Becoming a Ninth Degree Black Belt in the Art of SP 101

    I'd recommend a grip that fits your hand, it will help your time and accuracy. Other than that, watch the experts and practice a lot. If (and I hope it doesn't) the time comes you won't remember drawing it, your focus will be on the front sight center of mass.

    New 480 Alaskans

    Need help selecting the right DA "mountain" gun

    I used to carry a little 32 H&R mag thinking it was nice and light for a woods gun in the mountains where I hunt. I've got this problem of getting too relaxed in the woods and would end up taking a nap or two. Now that the bears have come back and pictures of large cats showing up here in...

    Stainless Redhawk .45 5.5 bbl RARE Barrel length??

    03cobraa The 5 1/2 is not as common as the 7 1/2 and is what I'm using as a 'woods' gun when I'm hunting. The price is a bit high but like it has been pointed out, no longer in production. Any wiggle room in that price?

    Redhawk 45 Colt Price Check???

    Are you sure it's a 6 12/" barrel? Regardless, I'd jump on it for that price.
