Custom Redhawk Question

[Nightcrawler]

I'm still considering buying a new 5.5" Ruger Redhawk, in .45 Colt, next year, and having it shipped off to someplace to get the barrel shortened to about 4.5" or so.

Bit bulkier than the S&W M25, but less so than my 6" 25-5 and a whole lot stronger.

Questions:

-Where does one get holsters for custom handguns, like a 4.5" Redhawk? I mean like a belt holster for field use.

-Do S&W M25 speedloaders work in a Ruger Redhawk .45?

Thanks.

I cannot answer your holster question, but I'd sure like to see what that revolver looks like when she's done!

Bet it'd look like this:

Where do you get a lanyard loop like that? I want to put one on my woods-loafin' Single Six....

Ask WildAlaska, they built this one in his shop.
Nice job too. Wish I wasn't broke

Actually, it might look like this. This gun is from Clements Custom Guns. (www.clementscustomguns.com)

Why do people get grips that fill in the space behind the trigger guard? This would only let you get three fingers on the grip and make it more difficult to hold the gun high on the backstrap.

Mikul: I guess it helps keep the knuckle from getting rapped in recoil. How many more than 3 fingers do you have to put there? Still possible to get a high grip. dvnv

How many more than 3 fingers do you have to put there?

I was wondering if he was that six fingered dude on The Princess Bride!
