44 mags..show em if ya got em

[Cosmic_Charlie]

The 5 1/2" barrel Ruger Redhawk, the greatest 44 magnum ever created... says me. Also a couple of the fine bullets available for the 44 magnum round, the 310gr Lee and the 250gr Keith hollow point.

Gonna have to finally get me a hollow point mold.

Cosmic Charlie, I like the Lyman devastator. With red PC boolits there is no mistaking it’s loaded...



I own a Ruger 77/44 and Ruger 44 Carbine as well.

I had high hopes for the new S&W 69 L-frame ( 357mag sized) 5 shot 44

It had sticky extraction, even with 44 special bunny farts.

Sent it back to S&W and they returned it - "tests ok, re-finished frame"

Still had sticky extraction

called back mad as hell.

S&W lady said she'd "have one of her good techs look at it"

I said shouldn't all your techs be good !?!?!?

Got it back the 2nd time, and promptly sold it at a gunshow.

I know that feeling. "I'll have our best guy Howard look at it". Only to have it come back in worse condition than when I sent it.

I always remember shooting a friends M28 which he had Clements bore out to a .44 Special. A factory can’t mass produce what a custom shop can make.

[Silver Jack Hammer]

I have toured the Smith & Wesson factory and was very impressed. I was shown the new machinery which would rifle barrels in the manner done on the M69. The man giving me the tour said that he was not qualified to explain the process of how the new rifling was done. I am not a machinist or a gunsmith or a craftsman.

Only 2 left. A standard sbh from early 1980's and a little bit of an odd 4.625 sbh from the mid 90's. Ordered 5.5 model to get fluted cylinder. Came in with a circular groove cut completely through the rifling approximately 1 inch from the muzzle and another forwarf of the forcing cone. Returned to Ruger and requested replacement barrel be 4.625 instead of 5.5. No argument, no questions, returned 3 wks later with 4.625 barrel. So 'custom' gun with shorter barrel and fluted cylinder. No pictures - can't upload to this site.

Or they just cut yours off at the bad spot. Win-win for both of you.

Cheaper for them just to screw on a new barrel

I have taken to searching for older revolvers. Just picked up a minty 1956 4" combat masterpiece today from my ffl. Pristine bore and cylinder with .357 throats. Should be a keeper and cost $670 all up.

I have the same gun
A Lew Horton Lipsey's special I think
for blued Redhawks aren't at all that common
its a great shooter and likes the very same boolits plus a few from Tom @ Accurate
And Miha from MP and Dan from Mountain Molds

But this minty 1987 Super Blackhawk is! Another Gunbroker find from a small rural dealer.


And there are plenty of things to shoot that don't require a magnum.

[evort]

Getting a Leupold 4x28 soon.

[irockcu2]

Just picked mine up today!! Got it to go with my 1894! Also won this on eBay! Having a good day!!
