Thankyou Sir, I accidentally purchased 2 Ruger Redhawk .44 Alaskan’s with a custom Craft shoulder rigg between Jan and Mar ‘24. I loved the quality and feel of the first Redhawk I held. I must stop looking in the cases!

You can never go wrong with a Ruger, especially their classic revolvers. Redhawk, Blackhawk, GP100, Security Six, and the list goes on. I really like that holster.

It was Ruger month in January here too. We welcomed a beautiful new Super Blackhawk .44 to the family. February just became Smith and Wesson month.😅w

I recently bought a Redhawk 5.5" , black, not stainless steel finish . Excellent revolver ! here in France we see much more S&W than Rugers , whatever the caliber

That's a Diamond D Guides's Choice.

That’s a beauty . Im looking at possibly acquiring one of those . Can’t decide between the 5 1/2 or the 4.2 .

the reason for the forward cant on a hip holster is actually security, if the gun is canted forward it forms > that shape pointing forward and doesnt hook things backward or catch things forward or as you sit down… if the pistol is pointed straight down or a bit forward the handle is horizontal or hooked down and will catch and grab stuff and wont conceal well or carry nicely especially sitting down etc

Love my super Redhawk.

You may have changed my mind with that Redhawk. I had been wanting a Smith & Wesson 586 .357 Magnum in a 4 Inch barrel. But considering what you said about Ruger handling Buffalo Bore rounds (And I too had read that S&W revolvers should steer clear of +P+ rounds), I think I'm going for a Ruger Redhawk in .44 Magnum as my anti-bear artillery. Wish you the best of service with yours. And I also hope you teach them laughing deer some proper respect too!

@plowboysghost

I'm not up to date in the 586, so I can't help with that model. If you want a carryable double action .44 Magnum that'll eat any of the available heavy loads, you're probably going to end up arriving at the conclusion I did. I didn't want the shorter SRH Alaskan because of the shorter barrel. I want a little more velocity and a sight radius a bit more generous. I aim to take one of those smartarse deer for a pickup truck ride.

They'll come back out. Guaranteed.

I think you got a deal with that Redhawk. An acquaintance of mine wanted a Redhawk so badly back around 2019 that when he could not find one with the longer barrel, he "compromised" and bought one that was identical to yours by the time he got finished replacing the front sight and grips. Where he messed up was when he decided to handload some mighty stiff "O'Connor type loads" for it. That beast, with those loads, produced a ball of flame out of the muzzle that would put one in mind of something you might see out of a 16in naval gun of WWII battleship fame. I strongly suspect that ONLY a Ruger could have taken those loads and stayed in one shootable piece for very long. Thankfully that gent saw the error of his ways after about twenty rounds and scaled his handloads down a mite resulting in a much less "distracting" muzzle flash and probably half the seen and felt recoil. A few months later he took two eatin' size deer and four large "swamp hogs" with his Redhawk all with single shots. To the best of my knowledge, he still has that revolver and may still be hunting with it. Take care and I'll be looking forward to more of your great videos!

I’m thinking of converting my 1873 Pietta to old style. I broke the main spring and the bolt needed to be replaced. As I took it apart and looking up the parts, I seen some parts I think will convert it to old style. It seems simple enough. I just thought I’d ask. Good video I enjoy watching them.

Oftentimes finding myself looking at Rugers for the same reason. Pretty much will shoot almost whatever you put into it vs. concerns over some S&Ws. Its a trade off depending on your use. Have always wanted one of those .45 Colt/.45 ACP Redhawks for that reason though the Model 25 Classic S&W if fine looking. Good pairing with the Diamond D holster and that Ruger. And yes those Hogue grips will feel better than those wood ones for what I imagine your loads are. Looking forward to the other one. Stay safe and well mr. plowboysghost.

The videos I've seen with loads chronographed out of the .44 Alaskan don't seem to indicate that it's losing a whole lot, though. I came close to getting an Alaskan in .480 Ruger. I would with that caliber, mainly because I figure a 400+ gr bullet doesn't have to have a lot of velocity to penetrate deep.
