You can never go wrong with a Ruger, especially their classic revolvers. Redhawk, Blackhawk, GP100, Security Six, and the list goes on. I really like that holster.
Thankyou Sir, I accidentally purchased 2 Ruger Redhawk .44 Alaskan’s with a custom Craft shoulder rigg between Jan and Mar ‘24. I loved the quality and feel of the first Redhawk I held. I must stop looking in the cases!
I have the Ruger Alaskan and the Diamond D Guide's choice plus a 7.5" Redhawk. Great revolvers. I load everything from potent 300gr down to 180gr 44 Specials at 700fps for my wife. Super versatile.
How much did your spring kit help? I don't like the hammer pull on my Blackhawk. I would think reducing the hammer pull by about 1/3 would be a sweet zone...
@@MyWillypilly A reduced power hammer spring on the Blackhawk is a noticeably easier hammer to cock. Just don't go too light and risk light primer strikes.
I recently bought a Redhawk 5.5" , black, not stainless steel finish . Excellent revolver ! here in France we see much more S&W than Rugers , whatever the caliber
Hey man! That’s too cool. I bought a 4” Redhawk 44 mag couple years ago after I gave my brother my 6”. Haven’t got any footage of it yet, so that video will be some time off. It’s been our huckleberry picking pistol (here in the middle of grizzlyland). Considered a 454, but figured this with the Buffalo Bores would give me a 1/1,000,000th chance of a follow up shot. Thanks for sharing yours!
Glad to hear from you, my friend. I should've known you'd have great taste in firearms. I like .454 casull....I love .480 Ruger/.475 linebaugh. I'll end up adding another bigger-than-.45 gun to my collection again, but I'll hang onto this Redhawk.
the reason for the forward cant on a hip holster is actually security, if the gun is canted forward it forms > that shape pointing forward and doesnt hook things backward or catch things forward or as you sit down… if the pistol is pointed straight down or a bit forward the handle is horizontal or hooked down and will catch and grab stuff and wont conceal well or carry nicely especially sitting down etc
I have a SBH. I want a double action 44mag. Thinking of getting a Taurus Raging Hunter or the Super Redhawk. Not sure how much my budget can afford. Guess I can eat baloney sandwiches for awhile.
I almost bought a new 7.5" SRH after I bought this one, but they went out of stock at Academy the day before I could deposit the cash in my account to order it.
@Rich Doherty. I can relate to what you said about eating baloney sandwiches. I will eat potted meat and beanie weenies to afford a gun I want when I see something I like. Sardines and crackers too. In fact I need to start stocking some potted meat, baloney and spiced luncheon loaf so I can get that Ruger Redhawk 44. LOL
I just bought a Ruger Redhawk 7.5" but the wood grips are to small for my hands. My pinky can't hang on. As much as I hate it gonna look into the oversized rubber grips. Thanks for the video. Sure wish they made the grips the same size as my Smith N frame targets.
You may have changed my mind with that Redhawk. I had been wanting a Smith & Wesson 586 .357 Magnum in a 4 Inch barrel. But considering what you said about Ruger handling Buffalo Bore rounds (And I too had read that S&W revolvers should steer clear of +P+ rounds), I think I'm going for a Ruger Redhawk in .44 Magnum as my anti-bear artillery. Wish you the best of service with yours. And I also hope you teach them laughing deer some proper respect too!
I'm not up to date in the 586, so I can't help with that model. If you want a carryable double action .44 Magnum that'll eat any of the available heavy loads, you're probably going to end up arriving at the conclusion I did. I didn't want the shorter SRH Alaskan because of the shorter barrel. I want a little more velocity and a sight radius a bit more generous. I aim to take one of those smartarse deer for a pickup truck ride.
You beat me by one gun, bought the new SW CSX. Good shooter, decent trigger. We agree on Ruger. I have a Super Redhawk I reload for. .5 grains of H110 over max with a 240 grain SnS semi wadcutter. Mine in a mid 90’s build. Lockup still tight. Trigger pull is smooth ( although heavy ). I love it.
@@roycesjourney37 being a fan of John Moses Browning (and not really caring about 9mm...though I have a couple of 9 mm's), I'm studying on a Browning Hi-Power )clone) down the road, myself.
I think you got a deal with that Redhawk. An acquaintance of mine wanted a Redhawk so badly back around 2019 that when he could not find one with the longer barrel, he "compromised" and bought one that was identical to yours by the time he got finished replacing the front sight and grips. Where he messed up was when he decided to handload some mighty stiff "O'Connor type loads" for it. That beast, with those loads, produced a ball of flame out of the muzzle that would put one in mind of something you might see out of a 16in naval gun of WWII battleship fame. I strongly suspect that ONLY a Ruger could have taken those loads and stayed in one shootable piece for very long. Thankfully that gent saw the error of his ways after about twenty rounds and scaled his handloads down a mite resulting in a much less "distracting" muzzle flash and probably half the seen and felt recoil. A few months later he took two eatin' size deer and four large "swamp hogs" with his Redhawk all with single shots. To the best of my knowledge, he still has that revolver and may still be hunting with it. Take care and I'll be looking forward to more of your great videos!
Really nice! I want the four inch Redhawk in 45 Colt. I use Simply Rugged holsters. If you haven't tried one yet I highly recommend them. Like the hat.
Thanks. I've worn this (Stetson Gun Club Catera) more than any other since I got it for Christmas. I don't have any Simply Rugged holsters, but I've heard good things on them. 10-4 on a redhawk in .45 Colt. I just sold a 5.5" Redhawk (1985-built) 6-shot .357 Magnum. That one isn't as common, as far as I've read...having only been made a few years in the mid 1980's.
not everyone can wear a hat like yours, and that hat fits you well. Great videos on your channel. I'm subscribed. I hope everything is going good for you and your family. Peace..
You know, it sometimes seems it's easier for people to say something negative than something positive. I appreciate your kindness. Hope you and yours are well, also.
Ok this one just reminds of my biggest impulsive trade off reeegret . Admittedly I am a rifle man, and at best a moderate pistol shot. But that full size super redhawk fit me so well that it almost shot itself. What did I do.... yep you guessed it traded it. For a super blackhawk with a scope, pachmyr grips, and after custom machined port job. Man it shot like crap. Plus side .. I traded it for a 14"contender in .35 Remington, that I later added a .375 idk, and 45-70 barrel to. Damn I miss that redhawk
Oftentimes finding myself looking at Rugers for the same reason. Pretty much will shoot almost whatever you put into it vs. concerns over some S&Ws. Its a trade off depending on your use. Have always wanted one of those .45 Colt/.45 ACP Redhawks for that reason though the Model 25 Classic S&W if fine looking. Good pairing with the Diamond D holster and that Ruger. And yes those Hogue grips will feel better than those wood ones for what I imagine your loads are. Looking forward to the other one. Stay safe and well mr. plowboysghost.
You got rid of your S&W 629 44mag ? Oh no you didn't !!! I would never sell my 629-3 44mag for nothing for it has the 8 3/8 in barrel with the wood grips but I have on the S&W pachmare grips which feel a lot better in the hand !!!
Yep. I went with this Redhawk. I'd been studying on a 4" redhawk for a long time, anyway..purely on the strength of the razor's edge of overpressured .44 Magnum loads that I may never shoot. The 629 is a touch lighter and better handling, though. The Redhawk is built like a tank, but weighs and handles a little more like one, too.
I carry a Ruger SBH 44 mag with a 3.75 inch barrel as my EDC. I do want to get my hands on a Redhawk like that. Also, for deer and hogs, would you go with 308 or 30-06?
A buddy of mine just bought a 4-5/8" SBH and mounted a red dot on it. He aims to hog/deer hunt with that, at reasonable ranges. .308 or .30/06? Hmmm.... I like both. I went with a .308 recently because it's what what available in the store :) , and thinking fantasy-tacticool, I could conceivably come up with ammo in a SHTF scenario. I have killed deer with .308 in the past, and I know it to be a very effective round, so ..... I'd choose .308, but a man armed with a .30/06 who can shoot is a deer slaying sonofagun. ...deer and whatever else he has the ammo for.
@@plowboysghost I'm heading out hog hunting and all I have atm is that 3.75 inch barrel 44 mag. Hoping I'll be close enough lol. All I have is 240 JHPs so i know at close range I'll be good lol
@@Mexfederate5050 The only thing I'd be concerned about with JHP 240-grainers and hogs is penetration....but I've only read about shooting hogs...(like bears). I've never done it. I have 240-gr Speer Deep Curl JHP's loaded up in this gun right now, but I imagine their use against 2 legged predators where expansion trumps penetration. I'd bet plenty of hogs have been killed with 240-gr JHP from a .44 Mag, though.
What are under on fb i looked you up as plowboy long time ago It didn't come up . I think you be happy with that ruger. I traded my left shooting Smith off for a Redhawk in 357 with a burris scope . I don't if its been worked or not but the double action is just as great as the smiths and it shoots dead on . by the way I enjoyed you on the 11 bang channel it was like hanging with the boys lol you should do that more often
@@plowboysghost I’m a ruger die hard fan. I thought I’d give you a hard time. That Redhawk should take any abuse you send through it. You come across any Ruger Old Army’s down there in AL? They’re ghosts and myth here in east TN
Very nice! I have a question? Not to do with this video, but have you ever change out a Pietta SA with a transfer bar and converted it to a old style with a old hammer and firing pin. I’m thinking of converting my 1873 Pietta to old style. I broke the main spring and the bolt needed to be replaced. As I took it apart and looking up the parts, I seen some parts I think will convert it to old style. It seems simple enough. I just thought I’d ask. Good video I enjoy watching them. You still got that old Jeep wanger?
I haven't tried converting a transfer bar Pietta to std.., but I did think hard on it. Seemed like I thought it would work, but you'll have to fill in some of the area of the firing pin and shape the hole for the new one on the replacement hammer. that Wrangler was my son's...and he sold it.
I thought on one of the Alaskans in .44 Mag, but I prefer the 4" (+ -) for a little extra sight radius and velocity. The videos I've seen with loads chronographed out of the .44 Alaskan don't seem to indicate that it's losing a whole lot, though. I came close to getting an Alaskan in .480 Ruger. I would with that caliber, mainly because I figure a 400+ gr bullet doesn't have to have a lot of velocity to penetrate deep.
I broke down and bought me one of those Diamond D Holsters same color as yours but it isn't the chest rig. I got for my new S&W 629-6 5" barrel, i think i still may have couple 2-3 more weeks to wait until it arrives. How long did you end up waiting.. Hey brother great video, thanks for sharing!
Completely agree on the "if you find it and want it, buy it". Dont feel bad, I paid $1700 for the same gun in 45 colt/acp with moon clips.. and it came with beautiful red scallopped grips with the ruger logo but I had to go to the Hogue as well. Love it!
Naw, no problem at all. That Bisley hammer and I just don't seem to get along comfortably. That's the ONLY reason I don't still have that 4-5/8" SBH Bisley in .480 Ruger, anymore.
Please, if it's not difficult for you, give me the address of the official site where you bought the Poncho Cimarron. Please, I just can't find it and I think you can help me
I didn't. I only went a couple more times and was too picky about the size of the deer. I figured on the last day I'd take what I could get, and then something came up that kept me from getting to go the last day.
You can never go wrong with a Ruger, especially their classic revolvers. Redhawk, Blackhawk, GP100, Security Six, and the list goes on. I really like that holster.

Completely agree on the "if you find it and want it, buy it". Dont feel bad, I paid $1700 for the same gun in 45 colt/acp with moon clips.. and it came with beautiful red scallopped grips with the ruger logo but I had to go to the Hogue as well. Love it!
Could you do a collection video please
I'll study on it...
@@plowboysghost thank you for replying I love the channel god bless.
@@codycartee7390 Thank you for watching.
Rockin a 44 Redhawk I bought a few weeks ago. Where is the holster from? Regards -
Guide's Choice from Diamond D
When you got rid of your Redhawk, did you also get rid of the El Paso Saddlery holster?
I let go of this Redhawk a few weeks ago. The holster I sold to a local gunsmith some time ago.
Did you have a problem with the ruger bisley super black hawk 454
Naw, no problem at all. That Bisley hammer and I just don't seem to get along comfortably. That's the ONLY reason I don't still have that 4-5/8" SBH Bisley in .480 Ruger, anymore.
@@plowboysghost i ended up getting a cylinder base pin from belt mountain spring in mine would colaps
Ruger quality is declineing
I just got a 327 fed mag lcrx for carry what are your thoughts on it
I have no experience with .327 Fed. Mag....so I couldn't render a good opinion.
Please, if it's not difficult for you, give me the address of the official site where you bought the Poncho Cimarron. Please, I just can't find it and I think you can help me

It appears olive green isn't available right now.
@@plowboysghost Thanks, but I already knew and wanted to find a green one, but a poor yellow one is also good, it’s just that it’s such a color
I have a Ruger American .45 ACP! Makes big hole. 🇺🇸⚔️
I bet it does. I've picked up another GI spec 1911 in .45 acp that I'll get out before too long.
@@plowboysghost Good luck with it. Joy Reid called for violence against PATRIOTS today. Central Florida out!
Lol you have alota wrenches that are .454
I still have several....for sure.
You get a deer?
I didn't.
I only went a couple more times and was too picky about the size of the deer. I figured on the last day I'd take what I could get, and then something came up that kept me from getting to go the last day.
@@plowboysghost So far the deer like to appear to me, when it's time to leave for the day. Never got one yet...
@@plowboysghost As in my hunting career, season is long over here
Try stop playing with a Loaded Gun!!!!!!
There's Absolutely NO EXCUSE for it.
