Ruger Redhawk .357
« on: February 11, 2021, 05:03:32 PM »
Tomorrow I have chance at the Redhawk in a .357 with a 6" barrel.  Pretty sure it is a 6 shot.  Don't have a price yet but I'm thinking it will not be cheap just from a little research I have done on line. 
Anyone have one and what kind of accuracy should one expect at say 25 yards. I would think recoil not to be to severe considering the weight of the pistol.

A friend has the 44 Redhawk, and
it's a heavy sucker. Can't speak for
the 357 but his 44 is a tack driver 

Probably be a good hickory nut
buster too. It sure wouldn't do
the gun any harm

Accuracy will likely depend more on you than the gun. Sure will be heavy for a .357 tho if it's a Redhawk.

Traded for it today.  Redhawk .357 6 shot with 5.5" barrel.  Weighs 48 ounces on my scale empty.  With that weight it should handle full house loads with ease and not be real hard on the hand.
Having a hard time finding info on the 6 shot version.  All I really find is on the newer 8 shot.  Also am now in the market for a holster with wheels.

I'm a fan of 357. My everyday carry is a 6 shot 686. (My everyday wear is suspenders).

I believe that's the same weight as my Model 29 .44 mag with an 8 3/8" barrel.
