I think you are right. They came out in 4" stainless with that rubber grip first and then the others. We talked about one that a member here got by mistake in the wrong box. It was the first one anyone had seen. Ruger wanted it back and I believe he kept it.hittman said:I'm not certain but think the 45 LC Redhawks came long after they quit making them blued.
The first 45 colt Redhawk that got out was a 4" stainless.k22fan said:The one blued 5 1/2" RH .45 Colt that slipped out is amazing. Its owner is one lucky man.
