does anybody know the difference between the brushed satin SRH and the target grey. i see that the 44 mag comes in brushed satin and seems all the other calibers come in target grey. my SRH is brushed stainless and it is a 480. is the target grey a recent change?

i agree with 5of7, i dont find it uncomfortable at all, but also like him, i dont hold it with a death grip. just let her rise and rock back and fall back down, even one handed is not too bad. you dont have to lock your elbow either. i think it is a nice shooter, makes a lot of noise, i like...

there are several on this forum that know a lot about the 480 and thanks for all your input. it is much appreciated. the 480 SRH that i have is brushed stainless and all the ones i see lately are target grey. is ther any difference in the metal or strength? or differences in the gun at all?

i do feel the same as mr quinn, yes, i do have a 5 shot 480, and i love it, i have every peice of it, just the way it came from the factory, literature, box, info, spent case, everything. i would not consider modifying it or selling it or anything. i do think that it is the holy grail of ruger...

ok, great, so your an insider. thanks for the info. i appreciate it. any chance ruger will re introduce the 480? what do you think?

bfr's are nice guns, but i tend to like the DA's instead of the SA's. there is someone, i think, bowen is the name, that converts ruger SA's to 5 shot 475 but i havnt heard of it being done with redhawks or super redhawks.

on to my second question that i hope someone has had some experience with? i also have a super redhawk in 480, it is a six shot. i would like to have it chambered for 475. the 475 is just slightly longer, i think .120 or .125, i dont remember for sure, but the pressure is just slightly more...

ive had a couple inquires about selling my 480. i dont think so as i do think it is probably the rarest production revolver ever produced. unless there is someone that would pay its weight in gold, which i think is probably a bit pricey, so i guess im stuck with keeping it.

sorry, i dont mean to rub anyone the wrong way. but i hope you can understand the frustration when you ask a simple question, "how many did you produce?" "did you produce any in the standard super redhawk?" and the answer is "i dont know and i dont know, but i will have a supervisor call you...

if there is only 23 like mustang99 says, then it probably is the rarest production made gun ever commercially produced and worth its wieght in gold. just dont understand why ruger would set up production to make a change and then just quit making them after 23, just doesnt make any sense...

i dont understand, what is so sacred about production numbers. what is so secretive about how many there are? dosnt make any sense to me. ok, mustang99 says there are 23, all alaskans, how did mustang99 get his info that they refused to give to me? how do i get the letter you are speaking...

i have a 480 alaskan 5 shot and have been told that it is very rare. i called ruger to ask what serial number range and how many were made. they told me that they would not give out that info? i asked if it was only made in the alaskan or if they made any in the super redhawk? again, they said...
