Shiny New 8-Shot Redhawks

[barrya]

I think there needs to be MORE talk about 8-shot 357 Redhawks.

...is there no cure for this new Redhawk-itis ???? Who would have thought that Ruger would start-in with variations on their older designs ??? :mrgreen:

Nope. No known cure, and nothing promising on the horizon. Get out your pocket book and pay, pay, pay.

DONE!! Barry

Not real nuts about the two piece barrels.

Me either.

I wondered about that, too, but at least in the case of a Ruger I'm satisfied that it actually allows them to make the RedHawks better without costing an arm and a leg.

There is a good review at Realguns.com where Joe D'Alessandro makes a strong case for the new barrels.

 

[CraigC]

I don't know that it will make them better. My biggest gripe is that with S&W, the barrels cannot be removed, replaced or shortened by a gunsmith.

Not a fan at all of that arrogant blowhard at RealGuns.

I wonder when Ruger is going to be releasing the 15 round 22LR Redhawk. I hope it's with the tensioned barrels also!
