I love my Ruger Super Redhawk. That is all.

I've contacted both Bowen and Huntington about a custom barrel and action work on a .44 Alaskan. We'll see where this goes....

I have 3.
Ruger Super Blackhawk - accurate, fun to shoot, tough and reliable. S&W M29 4" blued - accurate, fun to shoot, tough and reliable - and the smoothest revolver I've ever shot. Dan Wesson stainless - accurate, fun to shoot, tough and reliable. If I could only keep one it would be the M29. However, if I was going to buy another one I'd be looking at the M629 with the full underlug 5" barrel. |

This may sound silly, but what's the point of putting an Anaconda barrel on the Ruger?

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Looks.... SRHs have a funky looking barrel. RedHawks look pretty decent, but have an inferior action design. I'm debating on going with a standard Redhawk, Anaconda or custom full lug shroud and barrel from Huntington. It's also getting a custom action job and general touch up to make it nicer than an off the shelf Ruger. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryCost, which is kind of a moot point, considering how much you're already spending to have the work done. Barrel length, the longest I can get with a reworked Anaconda barrel is 4.2". I'd like 5 or 6, but it looks fine with the shorter barrel. Which 'smith I want to use, Bowen or Huntington. |

Quote HistoryEh, not everyone thinks vented ribs look good on anything besides a shotgun barrel. And i never liked Colts backwards cylinder release.

I have Zero interest in a 44Mag.
I have owned a bunch of them and sold the last one. |

Does it have to be a revolver? Desert Eagle in 44 Magnum and you can also get the 50 AE barrel for when you turn 50.  
I just put a 7.5" 1983 Redhawk on layaway last week. Pristine condition. I can't wait to shoot it. My only concern is the bbl separation in the early models from supposedly over-torqueing the bbl during assembly. |

Here's my 44 mag. "dirty harrriet" S&W model 629. I don't enter the grizzly bear woods around here without it. It's very accurate.

My reason for wanting a 44 Mag revolver is to compliment my Marlin 1894 lever gun. I highly recommend purchasing a lever gun in 44 Mag, and then your reason for wanting the revolver is taken care of. I can get very creative when justifying new gun purchases.

It's also getting a custom action job and general touch up to make it nicer than an off the shelf Ruger. Look around for a used Dan Wesson .44. They are stout guns that really shoot well, but they are heavier than hell. The action is really a SA first (the hammer shape clues you to that) but the DA isn't bad, and that is coming from a died-in-the-wool trigger snob. I would like a more robust Model 29 Smith due to the DA trigger. Maybe the Redhawk has improved since in the decades since I last shot one, but I dunno. |

I had a 629 Mountain Gun and foolishly traded it. I deeply regret it. Was a fantastic shooter.

Either Model 29, or 629 in 4" or 6"...As I wouldn't be carrying it around a great deal, I would probably go with a 6" barrel. If I lived in Alaska or somewhere I planned on carrying it a great deal I would get a 4" barrel.
But then, if I lived in Alaska, I would probably shoot it MUCH more, so would opt for a Ruger and have a little work done on a 4" Ruger for carrying a great deal. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I swear that Smith & Wesson must have a sales prevention team. They don't want to reintroduce the Mountain Gun as it would sell too well. They can't have that! I have a few regrets in guns that are gone. That one’s real high on the list. |
