My new to me Redhawk 5.5" SS 45 Colt. I hate the grips. They are way to wide for my hand. I'll be putting a set of originals on as soon as I get my hands on a pair. So if anyone has a set they want to get rid of please let me know. We can even swap if you'd like.

Beautiful !!
You done Good !! :mrgreen: Can't say about the grips, as I don't like the factory panels either. Depending upon Your hand size, & hold, with the factory panels they are a knuckle buster for Me. My hand rides too far up behind the trigger guard. With the factory panels, it should have a "filler", something like the Tyler "T" grip.
I've become used to the Hogues on My S&W's, so I could probably handle those OK. Take it out & shoot it, & if You don't like it, send it to Me, & I'll see that it is properly disposed of !! :lol:

You know We'll expect a range report, real soon. ??

OH, . . . by the way, I have a nice set of factory panels here somewhere. If You want them I'll look them up !

 

[Johngoboom]

Nice!!!!

That thing looks to be in perfect shape.

Also waiting for the range report!

 

[Wizard]

You did good, BH. That's one fine lookin' revolver, you have.....

 

[Bountyhunter]

Thanks guys! If I can find a load for it I'll be fine. I bought a box of 50 cowboy loads in case I get to the range this weekend. I don't think I'll be loading my own for a bit.


Jim I'd love to have those factory panels if you can find them! Shoot me a PM and we'll work it out.

 

[deputy125]

looks awful good to me!!!!

Congrats! The Redhawk is the only DA revovler that I did not like the regular full size Hogue grips on. I love em on my GP.

 

[velvalco]

well i guess i can cancel my trip tomorrow.....

That is a beautiful gun. I'd a grabbed it too.

 

[Bountyhunter]

Thanks guys!

Gunman the grips on the Redhawk suck bad. They don't fit my hand at all. The stock ones fit great. I really like the feel of the panels.

 

[XLCH]

Very nice, it will soon be the one you take to the range each time you go, enjoy.

 

[Taurus_9mm]

Very nice Shawn! I guess that's another one you're going to have to handload for huh?

 

[dbsoundguy]

Sweet...I think wood grips would look awsome on it also

 

[Bountyhunter]

Very nice Shawn! I guess that's another one you're going to have to handload for huh?

Yeah definately. 45 Colt ammo is crazy high in price.

 

[Bountyhunter]

Sweet...I think wood grips would look awsome on it also

I think they look way better and they feel awesome.

 

[Snuffy]

yea can reload and come out better that factory pal. 45's are easy loadin too.

 

[Drummer]

That's a pretty nice revolver! Your new grips are gonna make it look fantastic.

 

[Bountyhunter]

Thanks Drummer. I'm going to find myself a cowboy style holster and belt for it too. I'd like to think that if Wild Bill was around today he'd own one just like it.

 

[sheepdog]

He sure would...crossdraw...showoff grips...Hogues just don't cut it on a cowboy gun...if those old-timers'd had a DA and speedloaders, you coulda written the tamin' of the West in far less chapters!!! Heck, John Wayne movies woulda only been 30 mins. each...that woulda been a bummer....is there a way to shoot .45 ACP in the Redhawk? That'd cut down on ammo costs a bit.....maybe moon clips would fit...

 

[Bountyhunter]

I don't know Sheepdog. I'll have to look into it. It looks like I can load 45 Colt for pretty cheap so if I can't no biggie.

 

[jaredshs]

Now Bountyhunter, you know you are makin me want one of them 45 Colt Redhawks pretty
awful bad. That sure would make a great car travlin gun in a crossdraw holster. Your a lucky
feller.
