Don't know what a " Bowen Alpine" Redhawk is.  But I bought my holster for my 4" Redhawk from Ruger.  Its a nice looken rig.  Basket weave style with a hammer loop with the Ruger logo.  And best of all made in the USA.  I believe Hunter made it for them.  Good price too. 

regards , irold

any N frame smith holster should work fine.

Thanks for the input, but I think the Ruger holster is made for 4 1/4" and the RH trigger gaurd is a bit large for the N frame holsters I have...

I'm sure you have your reasons but an  extra 1/4"???? That may be of  importance in some things but in a holster? By the way the Ruger holster (nice unit) AND a very nice belt for less than 100 bucks is a pretty darn good deal. Couple or three speed loaders and pouches and you're ready.

Tried Simply Rugged and unfortunately that did not workout.  Can you tell me how the heavy RH rides in the non pancake style Galco or Hunter... Thanks

A late response to an older thread. I received the holster and belt from Ruger a while back. The holster was umm... 35ish and the belt was around 45. First thing the belt is a different color, kinda the cordovan shade and the the holster is a nice natural tan color. (if that makes a difference to you) The holster is a good fit for the 4in Redhawk,  as is the belt for size.  Quaility.....so-so, the holster is an okay deal for that price but I don't think the belt is worth the cost. After trying them I went back to a Uncle Mikes padded cordura setup.  And I really don't like those much. Not much support.  May try oiling them up a couple times and see if it becomes a little more comfortable. All in all my impression is " they're kinda chintzy," but for a leather belt and holster under 100bucks probably about what you'd expect.

I really like the left side butt forward, high ride.  I use this for my 5.5" RedHawk and it should only be better with the 4".

Make sure the holster has a forward cant, then wear it just forward of the left hip bone.

This is a great way to carry for right handed folk.  Keeps the handgun out of the way of things carried in the right hand/on the right side.  Makes it east to carry in the rig or on the 4 wheeler and is very quick to get into action if needed.

Keep em coming!
