Why are RedHawks more expensive than GP100's? Is the action different? Are they that different? I have only one GP100, but have always wanted a Redhawk, and now that the 357 caliber is more common....hmmm....

I can see how more material would increase the cost. I know stainless does cost more.
charlesappel said:The actions are totally different. The Redhawk has an action similar to the old Security Six series of revolvers and it has a conventional grip frame. The GP100 is more like the Super Redhawk.
Why is the Redhawk more expensive? The GP100 could be less work to assemble. But that is just a guess.
I find the above confusing.wildcatter said:The Redhawk is totally different than the Security Six action, the action is actually closer to the Security Six, and is the same action the Super Redhawk uses. It even uses the same grip spike as the Super Redhawk and grips are totally interchangeable.
