Custom Redhawk Inquiry

[Beaver Creek]

A while back I purchased a custom Redhawk that I can find little or no info on. With all the Ruger knowledge I have witnessed here maybe somebody has a clue as to who did this conversion. It's a blue Redhawk cut to 4", magnaported, and rechambered. Barrel is marked "500 Magnum" but chamber lengths indicate .500 Linebaugh. Has a 5-shot unfluted cylinder. The only non-Ruger markings I believe is the caliber markings on the barrel and a logo of an "R" and a backwards "P" on left side of barrel. Rear sight appears stock but the front sight has been modified by drilling and installing what appears to be a luminous dot. I'm attaching a few pics. Surely somebody in this crowd has some ideas as to the maker of this little beauty. Almost forgot to mention the Trijicon sticker inside the cylinder frame. Could Trijicon have had a few of these made up? I never heard of it.

Trijicon has never done any Smithing to my knowledge (which doesn't mean much), but that decal is interesting. You might want to contact them, they might have a clue for ya.

That is one cool Redhawk!

What a beautiful piece, I'm sorry I can't help ID it.


I love that unfluted cylinder! I wish that I could get one for my redhawk.

Phillips & Rogers out of Texas, now defunct. Most known for their Medusa revolver, but also offered work on other makes. Never held one so can't comment on the quality of their work.

Thanks for the tip Mike. I googled Phillips & Rodgers and did find some info on the company and the Mod 47 Medusa. I will persue that further. That's the best lead I have had. I did check with Randall Power thinking his father Ron may have done the work but Randall says no.
