My Custom Redhawk

Is a great gun. I don't know what I was thinking when I listed it, but thank you, Danny, for not buying it!

I just whacked 3 chipmunks with 45 Colt snake shot at about 6 yards. I never thought the stuff would be so potent, but it does a number on them!

I also am shooting the Colt loads without the moon clips. The Colt brass head spaces perfectly without them. That's a huge plus imo! This gun can be loaded for everything from field mice, to bear. It carries real nice at 3.5" and is a great gun to keep the Hawks off my little dog.

Re: My Custom Redhawk

I am glad that you decided to keep it. It seemed like too good a gun to let go of. Would have bought it in a heartbeat if I had the cash. I hope it survives the next time you get a wild hare up your butt and think about getting rid of the beauty.

Re: My Custom Redhawk

I often find myself thinking about the movies they won't make of me when I'm dead.

Re: My Custom Redhawk

7.5 grains of 231 under a 200 grain Dardas bullet is a delight to shoot and quite accurate, when you get ready. Don't know how accurate it will be out of that stunted barrel, but it's worth a try.

Re: My Custom Redhawk

Been running 230's on top of 9 grains of Unique, Kim. They are some pretty good shooting loads.

Danny, it's on the back shelf right now. To be honest I forgot all about it.

I have the pin and just need someone to install it. I'll try to get it done before the snow flies.

Re: My Custom Redhawk

Yep, CCI. I don't know what kind of Hawks they are. There are at least 7 of them right in my area that like to hunt on a regular basis. I'd like to see them get a few of the cats.
