A flock of Hawks. Redhawks that is

[Richard Simmons]

Just found these NIB Redhawks, .44mag, .41mag and .357mag. Pretty sure they only make the .44mag now. Gonna look them over on Saturday. I'd like the .41 but if I could get all three that would be kind of neat. Any thoughts on price, collectability, etc?

I had no idea they made a .357 on their Redhawk frame. I would have to have that one for sure.

I found a Gunbroker auction from this April where a used 5.5" .41mag sold for over $1,400!!! That's stupid money. If these truly are NIB I'd think they would sell for some where slightly more than a new one which is just over $700 at Buds Guns. They all could warrant a premium depending on age, perhaps more so the .357 and the .41 but not double retail of a new one.

I don't know a ton about reloading, but I do know that .357 can be loaded hot as shit if you're going to use in a Winchester 1892 or clone. I bet Ruger's large frame revolver can take hotter loads than the GP-100, so I'm wondering if the super-hot Win 92 loads would be safe in a Redhawk.

I don't know prices on these, so sorry I can't help you with that. With the high prices on these, it sounds like if you found a good deal you might want to snag them up before someone else does.

It's an auction so what they go for could be anyone's guess? They also have a S&W 627 Bloodworks revolver I would love to have and those can/were going for over $2000 even lightly used. Too many guns and not enough credit cards.

.41 magnum the most over looked great handgun cartridge their is IMO.

I would definitely buy the .41 and .357. Don't know anything about collectibility, but those are the ones I would want for myself as shooters.

I'm buying a .41 Blackhawk from a friend next month and I'm eager to get into .41. Looks like a great cartridge and a Redhawk in that caliber would be nice.

I really like the big Ruger revolvers. I just put a Weigand rail and rings, Bushnell scope, and Herrett grips on my .44 Redhawk. I had made some maple grips myself, but I don't trust the epoxy on the screw collets to hold under the recoil of Buffalo Bore .44 Magnum +P+.

Beautiful! The squishy sounds you hear is me wiping the drool from my keyboard.

Any luck with the auction?

Bought the .41 Magnum Blackhawk from a friend last week. New grips came in today (buckeye burl).

[Schuetzenman]

Pretty grips, nice!

[Richard Simmons]

Those are nice grips. Thought they were horn at first.
