Went to the local Gander Mountain today, asking about .45 Colt S&W revolvers. I got my hopes up when the clerk said that Smith was still making the Mountain Gun in .45 Colt. However, when he looked through his big book of guns they can order, he and I were both dismayed to find that item no longer listed. It's no longer at Smith & Wesson's website, either, and has apparently been discontinued.
Said that a Ruger Redhawk, 5.5", .45 Colt will run me about $600. It was about the same price for a .454 7.5" Super Redhawk.
I examined the SRH. It was big and mean looking, but lighter than it looked. Not what I'm looking, for, unless I could get one cut down like Wildalaska was showing off before.
So, looks like the only NEW full sized, 6-shot .45 Colt revolver I'm going to be able to get my hands on is the Redhawk. A good gun, I'm sure, but not pretty, and easy to tote like a 4" N-Frame.
