Okay, my first impression was "why?". But I like to keep an open mind and obviously someone figured there was a market for them so I will ask for answers.

Why this in .41 and .44 Magnum...? (I'll grant the .41 has a certain cool factor just because you don't see a lot of three pound snub nose .41 Magnums)

...when one of these in .41 Mag, .44 Mag or .45 Colt seem like they would better serve whatever purpose one wants to serve with a large, powerful revolver like the Redhawk.

No shizzit... 45 Colt or go home, and that's at the low end. That thing needs some metal hogged out to lighten it up a tad.

I have little love and no use for 40+ cal revolvers with barrels shorter than 4", and find 5 to 5 1/2" to be the preferred length.

I can sure understand the need or want for a powerful and packable handgun in various parts of the country, but I have to scratch my head as to why a 2 3/4" barrel is better in that category than a 4" barrel. It's not like you're going to conceal it, right?

"Hey, BooBoo, see that fisherman? He looks pretty good to eat."
"I dunno, Yogi, lately a lot of those guys have been carrying concealed .44 Magnums. Better we go raid some pick-a-nick baskets..."

"Why?" was my response when I was handed one the other day.

I think they're made for guys that collect 41's and that's about it.

Sub 4" magnum revolvers suck, simple as that.

What I want is a 5" GP100 44 special. Clements wants $1250.00 for the conversion and that would just be reboring my 4". At that kind of price I might be able to learn to like a Smith.


Those who are always shooting off at the mouth usually aren't shooting straight.

Those are fun too, Gitem! I mostly shoot .44 Special ammo in mine. Very accurate, too.
And it's only 5 ounces lighter than the Rugger .44 snubby.

No point to the snubby in a .44 mag, actually dumb in most aspects for what one is trying to achieve with a .44 mag.

I bought a snubby .44 mag Redhawk a long time ago. Seemed like a good idea at the time. It was a waste of money. At least it is a Redhawk, so I could use it as a hammer or boat anchor if the need arises.

Edited to add: It probably was cheaper than a hammer or dinghy anchor bought by the U.S. government, but not by much.

Slightly off topic but, I can still almost visualize the picture from an article, I believe it was Guns & Ammo?, from the late 70's? when I was almost a teenager, of a Mag-Na-Ported 2 1/2" 629 being fired at dusk and reading that it was still loud with plugs & muffs and thinking, "I gotta get me one of those someday!"

Never did, but saw a pair in .44 mag and .44 special, used, for sale once.. passed on it. Not that I wouldn't like to have them, just can't afford to buy one of everything I'd like to have. smirk
