RedHawk .44 magnum.

Nothing ugly about those!

Me thinks a hand full of 44MAG out of that bottom one would FEEL ugly!!!
You boys up north don't seem to mind.

I don't see anything ugly about any of the guns shown. Might full blown loads sting a bit? - Probably! But I'll bet it is a great gun with lighter loads.

Oh, your missing the 7 1/2" and the blued versions.

No dogs in that picture!

Thanks folks..

Like JAYDAWG said, I was thinking “ugly” as in the feel of it when firing.

It’s actually not too bad, and although you do “feel” it, I can’t decide if it’s any worse than the Alaskan with the standard GP100 grips. I like it.

Btw, I’ve seen 5.5” and 7.5” blued RedHawks, are there any other models of the RedHawk 44 mag that are blued?

[RoninPA]

Yes, you could get, as an option (for an extra $30ish IIRC back in the day) a blued 7 1/2" with the rib cut for optics using the Ruger rings. I do happen to have one that I bought from one of my customers a few years back. He never did put optics on it.

Blued 7 1/2 on the right side - just forward of the frame and then about mid way down the barrel

Love it when Ron opens up a drawer in the "tool box"

Wow, nice gathering you have there!

Interesting.. I’ve seen the Stainless 7.5” with the scope mounts before, but not blued. Very cool.

That's just one drawer of 10 (in that handgun storage container) and that drawer is not as full as the others.
