Have been loading on the heavy side for my Smith 29's.
Thought about a standard redhawk, but see that there are no new around at all. Even the used market is light. Plenty of Supers.

Did they stop making them?
 
They are still making them and they are still in the catalog however AFAIK Ruger has not made a run of them in quite awhile.
 
Both the 5 1/2 and 7 1/2 are listed in their 2012 catalog.

I got one but there seems to be something wrong with it. 8) 8)

I've heard of canted barrels, but this problem looks "eggs-ceptionally" bad. :oops:

Or, just maybe, "The yolk's on you." :P

Sorry, it was the best I could do on the spur of the moment. 8)

Somebody help me out- there has to be a joke in this, regarding "which came first- the short Shorthawk or the egg?"

I like it, and look forward to seeing the finished product! (Assuming, of course, that this is not the final product :D )

Actually that is the finished product. It was a photo trick gone bad. I took two pictures of my 7.5" Redhawk and spliced them together. The plants lined-up fine, but the barrel, ...not so good. :roll: :roll:

A few minutes of photoshop trickery Jimbo can probably have both a normal looking array of plants AND a normal looking barrel. :)
 
One of my dealers got in one of each model well over a year ago 4" 44, 4" 45, 5 1/2" 44, and 7 1/2" 44 and most of those are sold but I believe the 7 1/2". Haven't seen any new ones since then anywhere else
 
just listed one in the 'classified' section please check it out and let me know if I can answer any questions or send you some pics.....thanks Matt
 
Its supply and demand to an extent. Its gouging when for example a model is discontinued and all of the sudden they become rare (even though they were catalogued for years) and they sit on gb at twice the going rate running the same ad forever...
 
Thank you Bear Paw Jack! and you can call it 'free enterpize' you can also call it 'a jumping off point' especially when it preceeds the term 'OBO' thanks again 'Jack' redline.....have a great night!
 
Gunbroker has 3 pages of Redhawks and yes, most of them are over priced, but I saw three or 4 that look like they could be bought for 550 or so.

Since the wholesale price of the Redhawk is around 650, that is not too bad....for a good one. 8)
 
Well, I have always been fond of the saying "even a blind squirrel gets a nut once and awhile".

Walked into the shop today and there it was. A 7.5 redhawk with pachs on it, like new shape for $525.00. Didn't even argue on price. :D

Are the grip frames for the redhawk and super redhawk the same?
(will the grips fit both)

No
 
Mike56, as soon as Ruger makes another production run of Redhawks the prices on Gunbroker will drop like a rock. Just keep waiting and looking. Something will come along. I would check Davidson's from time to time for a new run.
