I know of two different models. One is model 5032 and the other is model 5050. They both have the same catalog number KRH-45A.
The 5032 version is the earlier of the two and has the one piece barrel with the spring plunger system that allows for interchangeable front sights, while the 5050 version has the barrel and shroud construction system common to the newer Redhawks.
Both are stainless steel, have 4.2 inch barrels, a rounded grip frame, checkered wooden grips, and allow for the use of 45 ACP or 45 Colt cartridges.

Mine is the 4.2” barrel and the push button sight and round butt but I thought it was like a 5021 or something.

The cylinders on the 5032 and 5050 are machined to make use of the moon clips that allow use of.45ACP rounds. There’s also a 5027 that is .45C only …

Yes, mine is a “convertible” too.
But differences between the models you referred to?

See Timbo’s response above. Have you looked at the serial number lookup tool on Ruger’s website? That will tell you the model number.

I was just looking at my saved searches on GB and ran across this … note that this seller has two, *two* 5050s for sale NIB. Maybe Ruger has released a small run?

It’s a really helpful tool and the first reference I use when I see an interesting gun.

Just checked. Mines a 5032.

As I suspected… Ruger has released a run of RedHawk model 5050s. They’re popping up all over GB, and the Ruger website has them listed as “available”!
