Is it worth it?

I clicked on the images and saw prices on some of the handguns in the back ground but none on the Redhawk? So, it is kind of hard to answer the question.

Does it come with an ankle holster???
YES!

No ankle holster, but would like to find one I can wear across my chest under a jacket

I was thinking that a Redhawk with a short barrel and eight holes to take out some of the extra weight,
This would be close to the same weight as my GP 100. Boy was I wrong, especially when you end up stuffing eight 160 grain 357 magnum rounds in each one of those holes.

I have 2 8 shot .357 S&W's they are big guns. The Redhawk is even bigger. Make sure it is what you want.
But that sounds like a really good deal.

You can get it new for $1020 (Omaha Outdoors). In my opinion, for $250 more,, get new. The used one could have been someone else's problem.

Not for me only because I don't like 357s in a short barrel.

That's a sweet looking revolver.
I think it's worth every penny.
And, everyone should have both a short and longer-barreled 357!
They both "suit" their different purposes!

Heck you would have a tough time finding a shorty GP100 or SP101 for $750. Buy it and have fun with it. In my neck of the woods I have never even seen one of these in person.

This model has been out of production for a couple years and you won't find one new on the shelves unless you're extremely lucky. The company you quoted shows they are out of stock which doesn't make their price much good.

Coincidentally, I was negotiating a purchase for one of these at the gun show Sunday. The seller told me it was new/unfired in the box. Strangely, I saw that it uses moon clips, to facilitate ejection of fired rounds.
At any rate he was asking $850 and would not budge. Since I would have to pay for a background check it would have been about $900. I didn't want it bad enough to pay the extra $50. At 44 ounces empty it would be a hefty carry piece fully loaded. I will stick with my Speed-Six snubbie or 3" Colt King Cobra for a woods carry 357.
All that being said, it looks like a good deal.

Hickok45 has a good review on YouTube. I believe he says the moon clips are used as a fast reload. I'm waiting for my DeSantis holster to arrive and we should be out at the range this weekend.
