G'Day Wannabe, just as a matter of interest, what sort of price did you get the .44 for? I've had a .44 Mag stainless Redhawk since 1986 and I paid about $800, from memory. (In Aus we pay a lot for firearms, be they long barrel or hand-gun). I had to put Pachmayr grips on it as it was too much of a beast to use, for more than a few rounds, with the Ruger wooden grips. Still shoots as good as the day I got it.
G'Day Jack, unless they've changed things, the Blackhawk is single action and the Red is double
