45Colt/ 45acp redhawk

[Tom W]

I know it's a Redhawk, but I've read a review or two where the writer said he would not use heavy loads in the revolver. I somehow believe that the "Ruger only" loads will be safe. I have several hundred heavy loads that I shot from my Blackhawk sitting in the loading room. What say ye that have one? I'm planning on selling my No.1 in 30/06 A.I. to buy one. I don't hunt anymore since my heart attack and cancer surgery, and if I were to be asked I'd use a handgun.

Buy with confidence,,, and enjoy your reloads! The Redhawk is plenty strong enough.

I have been looking at those too. Hoping Acrylictnk will post some up and tempt us!

As I thought. I wouldn't think a Redhawk would be weak. I do remember that the Vaquero came out really strong, but the newer ones not so much.

Tom W,

Never fear, the Redhawk will take more than a BlackHawk in 45 Colt and that's sayin'something!!

I have 4" Redhawks in 41, 44 and 45Colt. I have fired some stout but not over "Ruger Only" loads in the Redhawk with nary an issue. :mrgreen:

John Taffin did an article recently and also fired some 45 Win Mags in the moon clips. Interesting, but I don't have any of those lying around. :roll:

You will have good luck with your handloads as Contender said...
