Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I like it when people spin the cylinder and whip it closed. I can generally buy there revolvers cheaper and then have the yoke or crane straightened so it will work again. I picked up a Smith K frame and a Ruger Security Six bent from closing the cylinder that way.

I have a great shooing DAO k-frame, you can work it to have a really nice trigger pull and not worry about having a touchy single action trigger because you lightened it up.
Not the most refined wheelgun ever, but you'll never regret getting the Redhawk.Originally Posted by Dave
Great info, all, thanks!
Redhawk are great guns. Had one in 45 Colt that did very well with heavy 45 Colt loads from Buffalo Bore. Only downside with the Ruger Redhawk is the exposed backstrap when shooting full power loads.
Personal choice, but I like having the hammer on a revolver. First qual course in our academy was Bullseye shooting the PPC. In rapid fire, you shot strong hand only and cocked the hammer to fire single action. Obviously for accuracy and shooting as fast as you could, would work that good grip, high on the backstrap, that everyone strives for. There were no other courses that required the gun to be fired single action, and most of the time I never cocked the hammer, but to me, it is nice to know that I can.
Whatever you decide, a good revolver will serve you well and you will enjoy shooting it.
So based on the recommendations in this thread, Noah and another member here in PM's I put a 50% down payment on a Ruger Super Redhawk from Bud's. I had been debating a S&W .460 or .500, but since I don't reload I figured the .44 mag is the better option for now.
Good choice. They are built like tanks and can handle the very heavy 44 Mag loads.
