Another Ruger somehow followed me home

[bigpower491]

I'd been wanting to get another revolver for a while now. Because we all know 1 or 4 or 7 is never enough. I just like em. Perhaps to many John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies when I was a young lad, dunno. This time around I really had my heart set on a King Cobra Target. I'd been looking at a few here and there, and really, I like the looks of em. The price tag was another story, but not a show stopper. Was about to order one til this Redhawk 357 Mag came along. She's a right clean piece for its age, locks up tight and I am shocked at what a great trigger it has. Somebody cherished this thing and it shows. I'll take it down on the weekend but someone had to have done some work to it.

Put about 30 38s thru it tonight, and wasn't bad...once I found the hold I could ring the small plates (3") at 15 yards with the last 2 cylinders. Had no 357 loaded, as the single action ate those up over the last weekend. I'll fix it up with something it'll like

Outstanding find, congrats!!!

Sweet! I love Redhawks.

Dream gun of mine right there!

As a revolver fan, I approve! I'd buy one if I found a deal on one. I have a 44 Redhawk which I enjoy shooting a bunch....

Veeeeery clean Redhawk there, congratulations!

That looks like it saw very little use. They’re built like tanks, it will be a gun your heirs will pass down to theirs someday.

Stay safe.

I fella I got my 7.5" .357 Redhawk from also had a 5.5" on the table and Ive often thought Im shoulda gone with the shorter one.
Beautiful Ruger, enjoy!

Nice find, and you're right, that Redhawk was well cared for. Rugers are my favorite revolvers, I have several of them in my collection. From the older Security Six line, right up to the Super Redhawk. Hard to beat their durability & reliability.

That’s a good looking Redhawk. I am envious.

 

[TarDevil]

Handsome gun!

 

[Tallball]

Nice find. It's gorgeous!

That beautiful Redhawk has me thinking I might need just one more Ruger. My last few have been Six Series and the Redhawk looks like a Security Six on steriods. I like the full grip frame & half lug barrel on the Sixes and Redhawk. Enjoy it!

Awesome find. Enjoy your new Ruger.

What a great find!

My brother had a Redhawk when he worked in Alaska. It was a .44 Magnum with the 5.5" barrel and that gun had just the right balance with that barrel length.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice


One bad trait those Rugers have though. They do seem to have to a tendency to follow a person home. I have had that happen a dozen times or more.

A good friend of mine had a Redhawk in the same configuration but in .44. I once saw him shoot it a Silhouette course -- standing, DA! I think he scored something like 11-12/40, which says a lot for the gun and his technique.
