I bought myself a Ruger Redhawk in 44mag with a 5.5" barrel. I've tried to shoot it with the factory grips, hogue coco bolo grips(they came with it), and hogue bantam grips. Every time, it smacks my hand and is overall a pain to shoot. I'm thinking of getting some Pachmayr presentation grips for it. They look like they give it more of a plowhandle shaped grip and they cover the entire grip frame. My dilemme is this: a pawn shop nearby had a Blackhawk in 44 mag for $350. I'm thinking that I could easily trade my Redhawk for the Blackhawk. I had originally wanted a Blackhawk but went for the Redhawk for quicker reloads and the ability to shoot DA. Now that I've put about 200 rounds through te Redhawk, and none of it being a fun overall experience, I've got some serious buyer's remorse.
Can you all maybe give me some insight? I doubt the shop still has the Blackhawk, but I also wouldn't mind downsizing to a GP100 or Security Six because 38spl is so cheap. Help!
