Redhawks?

It's been a while since I looked at the procedure, but if I recall, one of the challenges is a cross pin that is ground down flush with the frame and polished till it blends in. Removing and replacing it requires refinishing.

Look at the other side of the bushing, under the hammer.

This. I thought the 8-shot .357 would be this year’s "Bloodwork" wheelie, but it’s just a chunk of a revolver.

So then, I saw another one of these at the LGS today, so I asked to check it out. This time, going in knowing it was a total porker, I was actually sort of smitten. The trigger wasn’t bad, the sights were good, and the weight would help soak up recoil in a way that makes a GP look like a 3" k-frame.

I kinda want one now.

I'm gonna say that's a push in. Mine is a screw in and the bushing is exposed on the opposite side of yours, plus has the two holes for the tool. Yours might actually be easier to swap, IIRC.

Me too. I had a 4” 44 mag but I could not find a grip that made it tolerable for me.

Pachmayr Presentation Grips work really well for me with my 4" Redhawk. I sometimes wish they wouldn't, as they are just about the ugliest grip I've ever seen, but they really do help soak up recoil from stouter .44 Magnum loads very well.

(Pachmayr advertises those as good for people with large hands. I do not have large hands, yet I have no problem with the grip being too big.)

I had an early Redhawk that was wicked-accurate. Tightest lockup I"ve ever seen on a revolver.

Can't comment on the current product or new variations.

It is my understanding you can shoot 45LC through the 454, but I have no experience.

You can. I really should have just bought that revolver instead of the 5032. But aesthetics. That's like a retro-sci-fi prop maker designed a revolver.

Yep, I have that same gun - just listed it for sale locally - handles 45LC easily. It's a big gun though, a bit too big for my hands.

Have you tried the Hogue 80010 grip? Much more svelte than those tamer grips.

Are you saying that like it is a bad thing?...
