After Years Of Pleading For One...

Ruger has finally announced that it will offer a Redhawk with a 4" barrel. Luckily, I happened upon the news before getting too far along in sending a 5.5" version out for a snip job. No word yet on the pricing, but around $650 seems close enough. The grip will be different than the one pictured, as they've decided to go with a Hogue rubber, and from experience I can attest to the fact that they work wonders in dampening recoil. Now to see if Double-Tap will crank out some specialty rounds. I'd ask Crazy Jay but he's been playing "where'd the top strap go" a little too much lately, along with "anyone see my cylinder.."

When will they be available? Don't know. They take their time in answering emails.
And no, Carl. You can't fan it.
