A .41 Redhawk from Skeeter

Newest Ruger. Not for sale. I am tickled.

One of the most scarce Redhawks ever ….. 41 Mag, blued, 5.5 inch.

Yep and belonged to Skeeter to boot. I am going to shoot it.

That's cool!

Wish I had a factory box with correct end label!
Talk about a needle in a haystack.

Here you go.

I'm so jealous …..

I's still in shock that I won the auction.

Go ahead,, gloat a little,, many of us have a bit of envy,,!

Nice gun , I wouldn't sell it either , have fun with it

Congrats!

Nice shooter . Going to have the barrel and cylinder changed to a 'normal' caliber like .44 Special or .45 Colt ??? Ha! . Just kidding of course.

All the extras: Skeeter provenance, box, correct end label, blue, 5 1/2 barrel, and 41 mag. When you consider all these and the going cost of a Redhawk these days; I think you got a bargain. Enjoy!!

No doubt I got a bargain. We shot it. I am having eye trouble at the moment but my son did good with it. Its going to shoot.

Great purchase! I own Skeeter's Mitchell Arms .45 Colt. I wouldn't consider parting with it!

That is awesome! I am sure you have had a bunch of people try to buy it as well.

That is one nice shooting iron.

The problem with the fine Skeeter Ruger Reflex purchased, and my own Mitchell Arms Skeeter revolver, all of the guys our age or generation, know who Skeeter Skelton was. We read his articles, learned from him, and enjoyed his writing & adventures. The younger generation, my own son included, do not have a clue who Skeeter Skelton was. Most of them don't even have a magazine subscription for any magazine. So, When we are all gone, so goes the memories of great writers and gun guys, like Skeeter Skelton. It's still a thrill for me to be the owner of my Skeeter gun. I'm sure Reflex has that same, and well deserved thrill.

Thankfully my son is pretty well versed in Skeeter. Of course he is in his 30s. I even read him Skeeter stories for bed time stories. I even got him this for his birthday.
