Well it seems like it's been a long back and forth saga but I think it's over.
Ruger replaced my 44 Mag black hawk hunter with a new one about two weeks ago.
I don't want to bash Ruger cause I do think they are a great company with fantastic customer service. Thing is the replacement pistol was a comedy or errors, it was put together so bad that I find it difficult to even get mad at them ( and I am not )
Lets just say that I wouldn't even put a patch down the barrel let alone shoot it.
I called them and asked them to please remove the pistol from my house. The next day I got a shipping label and UPS picked it up. I got a call from the boss at customer service after two days and she said " yup I looked at the pistol and your correct, it's not the greatest, I let it go at that. ( being polite here )
I also told here this was the third go back to ruger for broken parts and other things that were just not correct and I was about done with them trying to get me a black hawk hunter that was close to being acceptable.
She asked me if I wanted my money back, or would I give here a chance to make it right. I said no I don't want my money back, I just want a 44 mag I can shoot and be happy with. She said how about a different 44 mag ? I said how about a red hawk hunter, she said no problem, she would get me one.
Two weeks or so went by and I called, she said
"" we are not making red hawk hunters for a month "" I said OH no Brenda this is going to go on forever. She said "" how about a Super red hawk 7.5 " barrel.
I will have one for you and it will be perfect, I promise That was Monday.
Well today I got it, super red hawk. they did a nice trigger job and put the softer slightly larger grips on for me, the ones that come on the 480 super red hawk.
The cylinder has no perceived end shake and .004 cylinder gap, throats are .431
The finish is 100% They sent 1' and 30MM rings. the pistol is tight. I can't find a thing not to like. But it's a big pistol and I have to get use to it. I hope it will shoot lead for me without any problems.
I have question ? My old gun had .432 throats and this one has .431
I have some loaded ammo from the old gun that has .432 bullets loaded in them.
Can I shoot the .432 bullets out of the new pistol with .431 throat without hurting me or the pistol. Also I don't no to much about super red hawks cept they are BIG
Do you guys like them ?
