Found this one in a local pawn shop in the Ft Lauderdale area. Decent price, good condition. No box, but that's not unusual in a pawn shop deal. .44 Magnum, 6 inch barrel. I always wanted this barrel length in a blued revolver. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/xDtmtc7.jpg)

Nice. I didn't know there was a 6".
5 1/2" is a standard length with the Redhawk.

5 1/2" is a standard length with the Redhawk. and it may be 5.5 inches I'll have to get a rod and a ruler.

Beautiful gun. Can't wait to see how that one shoots.

Nice Sam. You don't see many blued ones. I could hardly believe my eyes when I spotted this one in the case. It was love at first sight. According to the serial number, it was made in 1995

5 1/2" is a standard length with the Redhawk. That's what I have in stainless and 45 Colt.
We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth?

Congratulations on a good find. I’ve owned several over the years, and still own three. All mine have been and are stainless steel. Never owned a blued one. I don’t think you’ll regret buying a Redhawk. You might have to do a little trigger work, but once I figured out how to work them I was and am happy with mine. And it will last damn near forever. I had a five and a half inch that I put over 50,000 rounds thru and had no issues. And that was before I learned that I didn’t have to shoot full house loads all the time! I traded it on a rifle and wish I hadn’t.
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Local Dirt,
Yes I really do regret getting rid of that Redhawk. As you can imagine, the action was as smooth as silk and it was still very accurate, timing and lockup was still good. Most of the shooting done with that gun was done loading a 250 gr Keith bullet over 21.0 gr of 2400. Probably not over 5% off the bullets that went thru it were jacketed.

But, IMHO, that's a heckuva chunk of information there.
