Chig’s did the Desert Ironwood grips for it. I need to weigh it. I was really surprised how much the 97 weighs. Those little .22 holes don’t remove much weight

The Redhawk 41 Mag is ready to go, as is the G40. All I'll need this fall is for a deer in front of me! I like red dots better than scopes. Scopes just show me how much I shake now! Actually, red dots too, but not quite as much! I have chest rigs for both and using hard cast lead.

Nice rigs Dean, hope you get one of those 215 pounder Illinois bucks in front of those sights.

pacecars,
Beautiful! Really like the grips on the .454. Just curious if ya ever weighed that beast. I think my .500 is about 6.5 pounds. I used to carry it in a belt holster with an L.B.E. system I made, but I think it’s still why my left hip bothers me! Carry it in a uncle mikes shoulder rig for a contender these days. 3 lbs 8 oz unloaded as she sits

I’m late to the party but me and the boy went out to zero my moose rifle this afternoon and I threw my 44 in to check the sights. After I got the rifle dialed I moved the target to 50 yards and fired 5 245gr Keith bullets over 10gr of Unique. Nothing had changed, they still go where you point it, they’re only going 1150 or so but I’ve not met the animal yet that can stop one. So I guess if a bear is trying to get in the tent or more likely a lovesick bull decides he’s going to come in close I’ll be ready to 44 him.

XD .45 super loaded to rowland levels but with very light solid copper projectiles. 160 grain barnes xtac or 150 grain cutting edge raptor over 12 grains of power pistol. They don't hardly kick at all but they do a number on anything in front of the old girl.

Man, no final decision made on which revolver I'm hunting with this year, but right now I'm havin' a man-crush on this pair of Blackhawk .357 Maximums. That's as good a group as I can shoot with a revolver. Green Country Ammo 158 grain, JHP @25 yards, 6 in about an inch. The Big 10 inch.

Took the Redhawk to the gunsmith I use. Having the forcing cone cut to 11°, a de-burr and clean-up to the action and some new Wolff springs. We'll see if the 230gr hardcast like the 11° better than the factory angle.
And wouldn't you know it, while I was there, a guy brought in a S&W 657-4 Classic Hunter to put on consignment. It has a 6-1/2" full lug barrel and unfluted cylinder, Burris scope in a Wiegan mount (rear sight too) and all the original packaging. So of course, it followed me home! Lol!

I usually carry a 4 5/8 Ruger Blackhawk in .45 colt, but this year I am going to tote along a Ruger Redhawk, 5 inch barrel, in .44 Magnum. Just for back up, not a primary hunting gun.
