Was wondering why it said profile unavalibleApparently he’s already been banned, but I suspect he/she is still here hiding under a different handle.

Despicable Craig, how dare you post pictures of such a vile contraption.Very disappointed in the quality of troll we have these days. Must be made in China out of pot metal.
One of my favorite crappy Rugers.

They take a licking and keep on ticking!
I did too. And then I started using one. The beauty of the SRH is not in its pure aesthetic appeal but in its utility, accuracy and shooting comfort, as a pure hunting sixgun.I've always thought the super redhawks with the longer barrels were a little goofy lookin', barrel-wise. Kinda like someone had a gun with a 3" barrel and didn't think it was long enough and welded another 5" on from a different gun.
Ruger makes good revolvers, I own and use several. I just said I would not buy one unseen. Rugers are far from crappie. You can buy one new, change the grips and have a fine revolver and be tough as nails. One can send one off and have it customized, as you did, and have one of the finest revolver out there. I was not running Ruger down. When you are in the gun shops, notice how the quality varies from gun to gun. Some are just fine, some are so poorly fitted, that you can get the edge of a nickel in the gap where the grips meet the frame. One maybe we'll polished and finished another right by it in the case may pass as a used gun. You have a fine revolver but you have had a lot of custom work done on it. Ruger does not put anything from the factory, like your gun out. Other makers do. Colt's single action armys coming from the factory new, now are not as high quality as you would think they should be for the price they are selling for. Freedom Arms puts out one of the best finished revolvers from the factory out there and some of the most accurate, short of a custom. They are pretty much fitted by hand, even the cylinder is line bored to the frame. You can spend big money on a full blown custom and get more but to just be a factory gun, they are one of the best for the price. I know nothing about the bfr's. I was not putting ruger down, l was just quoting my experience with ruger guns from the factory. They are good firearms, even better if one customizes it.Here's one of my crappy .45 Colt Ruger Bisleys.....

as the title states I'm looking to get into the big bore game, want something between 41 and 45 caliber
whats out there good on price and the eyes and can stand up to the swamp and the deserts? the mountains and the beaches? from plinking at the range to backpacking in the woods?
won't buy another ruger handgun sorry, would rather just throw the cash in the trash for the coons who live under my porch
My Security Six is from 1972, which I do believe is the first year of production. Only thing I am not in love with about this gun is the sights.They take a licking and keep on ticking!
Good deal. Everyone has their preferences. What works for one, doesn't work for all. What is pretty to me, my not be to you. Also when one gets to smart to listen to another's point of view and ideas, one is probably missing an opportunity to learn and gain more knowledge. Your Ruger revolver is a very beautiful gun. Ruger revolvers are all tough, be it double or single action. They are just not as pretty and refined as others, but in the end, pretty and refined is not what sends bullets out the barrel. You have to admit, when you are in the woods hunting, not seeing game, it is nice to just look at and admire a fine looking firearm and think I am no doing any good hunting but it is sure nice to be out here doing this, with this fine firearm. Rugers may be rough around the edges but they what it takes inside to make them work. I would love to have a Super Blackhawk done with a really nice case hardened frame, 4 5\8" barrel, express sights, with a fancy set of desert iron wood grips, with red medallions. That would be the ultimate backup revolver. None of the firearm manufacturers out there are putting the best quality in every gun that leaves the factory. They all slip from gun to gun. I am glad you didn't take my remarks as putting Rugers down. Ruger is doing something right or they wouldn't be sell so many and there wouldn't be so many in use. I have run across a good many of your posts and your options and ideas on handguns, on big bore revolvers especially, are all spot on and I take you to be very knowledgeable in the subject.Gary, another poster long before you weighed in made some disparaging remarks about the quality of Ruger revolvers that a number of us have been posting about in jest. Hence the crappy revolver theme. That was not directed at you. The top revolver is stone stock and quite good out of the box. I have an FA 83 and frankly, for what FA charges for a premier grade revolver, I would rather have a custom Ruger. But the third option, and best option in my humble estimation is the BFR. Not quite the fit and finish of the FA, but close, with a number of features I prefer (to include price), plus, I have yet to meet on that doesn’t shoot.
For the last ten or fifteen years, the Colt SAA has been the best they've ever been.
