I am working to migrate THR from the current cluster to a new one. I would like to get this done before the weekend, but it's unclear what the timeframe will be, as testing is still ongoing. As I am writing this the new (rebuilt) host is doing a burn-in to ensure that everything will keep running under load.
When the migration happens users will see a Cloudflare message indicatating it cannot connect to the server. This is expected, and depending on how the migration goes this may last from 30 minutes to 3 hours - I won't know more until testing the various migration options is complete and I have finalized the plan.
More information is available in this thread.
As always, thanks so much for your patience.
Morning friends,
I'm currently searching for a good 44 mag DA revolver. The S&W 629 and Ruger Redhawk sound like goog options for me. The 629 sounds appealing because it is lighter, especially in it's 4" version. Rightnow I have a S&W 686 and a Ruger GP100 and I love them both...however after a couple of years I must admit I'm a little disppointed with the 686's build quality over time. While the GP100 remains strong and "in one piece" the 686 seems to be fallling apart. OK, not really falling apart but the screw on the cylinder release keeps getting loose and now the ejector rod keeps getting loose also. After 12 shots I have to stop and tighten the cylinder rod or it will come off (it happened once already). I know these issues can be fixed, but to me that says something about durability over time. Any advice on this?
Thanks!
I can't get over the trigger on the Redhawk, it's not great. To me S&W has the best triggers hands , so I'd vote 629. Is the Redhawk stronger? Probably, but I'd get a Super Redhawk over a Redhawk any day. More pricey but the new Colt's have great triggers.
Classic @Mark_Mark logic! And as always the best answer.Both!
I have a 4.25” Ruger Redhawk in 41 magnum and I changed the Hogue synthetic grips for a set of regular Redhawk wood grips. The wood grips feel better and rolls well with recoil.SRH for sure. After a few shots you will like the Ruger better. It is a little heavier to carry but is much sturdier and handles recoil better. I actually like a Raging Bull because it was ported for less recoil. The Smith is nice looking and maybe smoother. Looks great in a holster if you just want to carry it and not shoot much. Pretty face or long legs?
Me too! I bought some Pachmayr Grips, put them on, shot 6 full house rounds and put the factory wood back on. It just doesn't feel "right" to me with anything but the factory grips.I'm one of the few people in the world that like shooting my Redhawks with the stock grips.
