4" Redhawk 45 Colt Pic

[feathers73]

Does anyone have a pic of the 4" Redhawk in 45 Colt with Ruger wood grips? I'm trying to imagine how it looks. thanks

It's a 4" 44 Redhawk if that will do:

Ruger wood with Tyler T:

That rubber grip kept me from buying one when I finally got to handle it. Couldn't stand the way it looked or felt. What a let down.

If it had looked like yours I'd have took it home right then!

Very Nice indeed

If you plan to actually shoot it, you will like the rubber grip. I have one and it is a joy to shoot with the rubber grip.

I'm sure you're right. I have rubber grips on some of my DA's. Made a world of difference. Just couldn't get passed them on this one.

I didn't like the looks to start with, so I forced myself to pick one up and close my eyes. I didn't like the way it felt either.

I know, YOU DON'T SHOOT WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED, but I was trying not to let the looks dissuade me, but I couldn't do it. My loss I'm sure.....

I do have a GP-100 and SP-101 and a SRH-454 all with rubber grips and wood panels, and I absolutely love each one

Factory wood grips are easy to get ahold of so you should buy the gun.
And Ron Honner just happens to have one for sale. He probably even has wood grips, although you can get 'em thru Brownells.
And YES, those ugly rubber grips are much more comfortable to shoot than the wooden grips. Here is the Brownells Redhawk grips link and Ron Honner Classified ad link:

Yes, by all means if you like the gun, then buy it and look for wood grips for it.
There was a thread sometimes backabout Redhawks. I don't remember now who made the comment about the stock wood grips on his 7 1/2 inch .44, but when I asked him he said he much preferred the factory wood grips over the rubber grips.
Remember, the hunt is a big part of the fun!

Now that's one sweet Redhawk! I wouldn't mind having one like it. Those factory rubber grips on the 4" just don't get it for such a large size gun. Enjoy!

 

[feathers73]

Thanks for the pic. Makes a world of difference to me in looks. I think with 45 colt wood grips should be alright.

Just to resurrect this thread; here's a pic of my Redhawk with Herrett Ropers:

 

[Bountyhunter]

Here's mine without Herret Ropers. :lol:

 

[mohavesam]

Nice soft finish! Did you have it done or... ?

 

[Skalkaho Slim]

Here's one without a Tyler T, Herrett Ropers, super cool custom front sight, nor silky satin finish.

I bead blasted it with a friends blaster. I also removed the billboard. Then I sent it off to have the barrel cut to 3.5" and the cylinder milled to accept moon clips.

 

[Short Barrel]

I love that beadblasting.I have thought about getting mine done.These aren't factory but similar in shape except round bitted.

 

[Bountyhunter]

Those grip panels are great, Short Barrel. 8)

I prefer the rubber grips that are the current factory-issue on the 4" Redhawks. I'd be willing to swap a pair of the factory wood grips in exchange.

Shortbarrel,

Who did the round butt conversion, and who made the grips?
