Pretty good shooting! How's the recoil?
The Redhawk has a long trigger reach without the open back strap. Assessing the grips might be a matter of hand size or, in racial terms, finger length."recoil"...with the original stock wood grips it is reasonable to a point...but once you up things past 210 grans it gets uncomfortable fast...
The new open back Hogue grips that now come on the 4" guns are an improvement as are the old Uncle Mikes that were on the gun when I shot that group. The gun now has a set of camo Pachmayer Presentation grips with the full backstrap and they are comfortable to shoot with any load...

If you set aside all the crass 22 LR nonsense in their promotions, there is nothing chintzy about the Henrys I have seen. I own what must have been the very last 45 Colt Big Boy before the plant got flooded out by Hurricane Sandy, after which they restarted in a new location. I scoured the country via internet before finding one.Nice shooting. I also shoot the 250 gr WFNGC bullet at 1050-1100 in a 4 inch gun. or 4 5/8 inch. I could push it more but it goes clean through any large critter. Say 50 yds without fail. As far as the Henry?? Not my cuppa tea. They may be getting better but they look a bit chintzy to me. A friend has one in 45-70... He wishes he had bought a Marlin!
