Rugers Redhawk in 45 Colt and the 45 Colt/acp revolvers are the info quest today.
Wondering about the bore diameter/groove diameter of the Redhawks. Also what do the cylinder throat's measure out to?
Are the straight 45 Colt revolver ... specifically the 4 inch model measure differently then the newer 45 Colt/45 ACP 4.2 inch? Also what measurements difference in the Super Redhawk 2.5 inch 454/45 Colt revolvers.
My favorite cartridge (45 Colt) has always been a temptation for me. I have a Colt, a Vaquero and a '73' Japanese built Winchester in a 16 inch short carbine. Have had 2 s&w 25's and the Japanese model 92 so chambered as well as Rossi 92 and several Ruger Blackhawk's so chambered.
I will never rid myself of the current Colt nor the Ruger Vaquero and doubtful if I let the 73 go either.
My Ruger has .452 cylinder throats and the Colt infantry model is .456 cylinder throat. My little Winchester also has the .456 throat which SHOULD be compatible ammo in the Colt and the 73.
Always was going to replace the S&W 25 ... but mine had terrible cylinder throat's in .457ish diameter and kinda shy about winding up with another in the same boat. Hence the measurement questions on the nice lookin Redhawks.
