New Redhawk - COME ON RUGER REALLY ? :cry:

[RugerForMe]

I just picked up my new Redhawk 45 Auto-45 Colt from my FFL.

Sham - Sham - Sham someone forgot to put the moon clips in the box.

Glad I bought 6 extras, I'm going to get it out for a test run this coming weekend.

Just think back in 1982 I bought a 5-1/2" .44 Mag and paid $325

That looks nice.

That Redhawk looks great!

I love mine.

Congratulations.
I also Love my 45 acp/45 Colt. If I were you I would call Ruger and let them know it did not come with the moon clips. They will probably send you what it should have came with.

 

[RugerForMe]

Thanks everyone.

I going to give Ruger a call in the morning.

I also called my FFL guy and asked if by chance they got set aside when he recorded the SN, or if I dropped them at his house when I picked it up.

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. 8)

Was the 5.5" Redhawk AVAILABLE in 1982? I bought one in 1982 and the only available barrel length was 7.5". Did I miss something?!??!!? I would have loved to have the shorter barrel back then! I paid $289 for mine, in Bishop, CA. Them was the days!

They are belt fed.....magazines are in aisle 7 next to the greeting cards.

That was a long time ago, I bought a lot of guns back then. Might be off a year or so. But was my first big handgun. Fairly sure it was 1982.

Traded my 7.5" for the first 5.5" I had ever seen, in 1983. Didn't know they were an option until I saw it laying in the case in a gun shop.

I really like the looks of these round butt 45's.

Good looking Redhawk. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

 

[RugerForMe]

VERY NICE! I'd forget the moon clips and go with .45 long Colt...Underwood has some VERY good loads for the .45 LC.

I love the .45LC, Have been reloading for it for a long time. I haven't bought any ammo from Underwood, but have them in my favorites.

And I am not a happy camper at this time, as I received the Moon clips today. They will not allow the cylinder to close with a fully loaded Moon clip. They simply do not seat deep enough.

I know it will be taken care of but really? They only test fired it with .45 LC?

Thank you Ruger for another SLIP past your worthless QC department.

 

[Prescut]

Wow. Three days already since this last post, and nobody apologizing for Ruger. Must be a record.

 

[Bear Paw Jack]

But there's always got to be someone willing to bad mouth them, and glad for the opportunity. And on a Ruger forum. I guess you've found your purpose.
