Anybody have any info on these ?

I'm unfamiliar with them but I've contacted Ruger in the past as I'd love to see a .45ACP/.45LC Redhawk with a blue finish. I'm not holding my breath.
Just not a big stainless guy.

I like the blue as well but really like the 5 inch barrel
I've seen the 5-1/2" in blue and a friend bought the 7-1/2" in blue that is milled for rings. First one of those I've seen. That was just about a month ago.
WOW! That is one beautiful revolver! Especially in .41 mag, looks "right" with that T-grip-Dave

IMO, the blue Redhawks were some of the most handsome revolvers ever made. The polish and bluing were
quite stunning seen in the flesh.

I have always dreamed of a 4" blue Redhawk in .45 Colt.
Yeah, I know . . . dream on.

Blue Redhawks clean up pretty good...
I like.
I picked up a 5.5" Blued Redhawk a couple of years ago from a customer of mine. Didn't have a need but the price was too good to pass up. I really like it.
Love the grips on yours, they are quite good looking!
There was a blue 41 mag Redhawk on zidaho.com recently. Price was high IMO.

I'd buy that baby if I ever saw one, being a .41 freak! 8)
Heck I would have posted this, if I had known anyone was interested.

I happen to own a 5-1/2" Redhawk w/blue finish. One of the older guns before they quit making them. Like most Redhawks, it shoots good with the right load.
But if I had to choose just one Redhawk, it would be the 4.2" in .45 LC. It is quite portable and powerful. I load a 275 gr. flat point to 1100 fps in it and with the right grip, it is easy to control. I have never shot anything with it, but I think anything that gets hit with that load would be in a world of hurt.

I've had a couple of SS Redhawk .44s, but let them both go down the road. I recently acquired a 5.5" blued version and I think it's gonna stay with me. Shot it Friday, and I really like it, but I'm going to need a taller front sight. With the 295 grain cast SWCs that I want to shoot in it, I was still a good 4-5" high at 25 yards with the rear sight bottomed out. Anyone know where I can get a taller front sight? Don't want a hi-viz, I want a plain blue, red insert, or brass bead.

Hamilton Bowen makes extra height redhawk front sights.
