Interesting super redhawk by offset arms

Man idk about that one. Also looks like one heavy mama jama.

Honestly, I'd be perfectly happy with a fixed barrel 5-6" model like that.

That solves my only gripe with the SRH, is that there aesthetics are a bit unique.

My most powerful pistol currently is a 45 Blackhawk, if I ever need more I'll be picking up a Redhawk in one form or another. Had an X-frame, and shot it and others bunch and I'm over it.

Cool concept, but for a price I'd rather have two SRHs than one.

Kind of a gunsmithing tour de force, but I don't have an application for a big heavy magnum with a three inch barrel.

3 really, it said $3200.

It looks good , I like it but for the price I'd buy a SRH and let Bowen have at it. Probably be the same cost but fitted and tuned by a master.
Had a dan Wesson, loved it. But once I had the configuration I liked I never really switched it around very often. Good if you only want 1 gun with lots of barrel length options and I'm sure the tensioner barrel is accurate. I think I'll stick with the 5" toklat, looks funky and packs pretty easily, perfect.

Well, in any case, the frame is still a "solid piece" frame . . . all barrels are screwed in . . .
The 1 piece frame means there's no side plate . . .

From the ad: "The Ruger Super Redhawk is completely hand-crafted...."

Is he making them from scratch? Ruger might have a problem with that. lol

Or does he not understand what "completely" means?

As mentioned previously, looks awfully heavy.

I always thought the SRH just needed some extra bulk.

Too weird, looks like something Chris Rhodes would've built. If you're going to negate the Ruger scope cuts, you'd be better off to start with an Alaskan, cut the nose off completely and convert it to a Dan Wesson interchangeable barrel system. It'd be lighter and shouldn't cost that much either.

I thought on a factory Ruger Super Redhawk the barrel and frame were 1 piece. (I'm not sure how they would machine the OD of the forcing cone if that was the case though.

The round section of barrel is just screwed into the frame extension. It just has a really long shank.

Well, that’s special. I bet it takes recoil nicely. And for that super low price, I’m ordering two.

I can't say that I disagree with that rather diplomatically phrased thought.

I resisted the call of the SRH for a few decades, because, well, it has a look that only its creator could love.

Now I own a 9.5" SRH in 44 Mag. Shoulda bought one decades ago.

I have come to realize that it looks that way it looks, because it can do what it can do. I am a big believer in 'Form follows Function'.

I still view it as sort of ugly, but in a rugged, Charles Bronson kind of way....

Good grief ..... what’s the purpose? Seems one would be better served going the Dan Wesson route and calling it good. What am I missing here?

The SRH looks... Amazing. All business , no nonsense. I always liked the looks. If you could have seen the gun store cashier when I ordered my toklat (arguably one of the strangest looking guns, short of the chiappa rhino) . he asked me 3 times if this is what I wanted to order. Then when I showed my buddies, they got a good laugh at its looks. All that aside SRH is a beast, digests mountains of the hottest loads anyone would care to shoot and continues to so for decades. That's beautiful to me. Form should always follow function.

ETA : the picture... Not that it's needed but just look at her...

$3200
For what? Am I missing something?

Personally I think the SRH is hideous, but its bizarre looks serve the very real purpose of facilitating the mounting of optics to the frame easily rather than the barrel. It’s meant for hunting.

For that functional purpose alone I think it’s a great design and almost bought a 454 grey finished one many years ago, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy one now if the sole purpose was killing animals at distances requiring an optic.

All that being said, I’m really interested to see what direction the Super GP100 goes in.

It’s $1000 for the gun, $800 for the extra parts and barrel, and another $1400 for all the cool you get.

Personally I’ve never had $1400 worth of cool, hot, or anything in between.

Not sure how you could get barrels and shrouds ect. If this company disappears either. Personally I don't see them lasting forever when you can get many different ultra high end semicustom revolvers for less. I'd take a freedom arms any day of the week over this conversion, for less money.

I wouldn't pay that much even if it turned me into a young Clint Eastwood.

...and the lie detector determined that's a lie.

Like I said, you could have one converted to take Dan Wesson barrels for pennies on the dollar and have a much better result.
