  The gunsamerica website has a few of the 5 1/2 in redhawks for sale.  One is for $500.00.  Thats a lot better than the $650.00 I paid for mine in Nov.

There were half a dozen on the market two weeks ago at the last gun show.

You guys are correct, great guns. Mine has the small gold bead front sight, kinda like a 10/22. Works great for me.

I saw one at the Bloomington Il. gunshow this afternoon. Would you believe the price was $625?

I see the new ones priced like that on gunbroker all the time.  Heck even the used ones are rediculous.  I go back and forth about getting one of the new ones with the 4" barrel only because they are available.

Ya, and I thought Rugers were suppose to be cheaper than S&Ws? What a joke, they're just like Walmart the prices keep getting higher and higher once they are established in a town.

I have owned a SS 5 1/2" Redhawk for years. I carry it in a Bianci Hush chest holster.
Have deer hunted with it over the years and it has been a very good gun.
LBT bullets and big bore Rugers make a good combination.
