500L is gonna hurt with standard RH grips and that exposed back strap.
I am guessing that you could negotiate a deal for any remaining 500L ammo the seller has....probably no more than a cylinder full is missing.

"Looks unfired" but I'm guessing Once fired! I thought someone around here had a nearly identical gun? I was about to say I'd try it once, but I'm really not sure!

Picked up a Bowen built Redhawk chambered in 500L month or 2 ago with some nice stag grips and a 7 1/2" barrel, I don't find it bad to shoot other than the hump at the top of the grip smacks the web of hand a bit. The stag look like they would tear up your hand but there really quite nice, Ive had rubber grips on a single action worse than these.

It looks just like the gun that Ashley Emmerson has. That is possibly the only gun I have seen that I would not try, at least not with full power loads.

Although....I did talk to Mr. Fishpaw 5 or so years ago and he said he had made some grips to fit Redhawks that had an extension on the length.
Much like the JRH extension on a single action but in the grips.
Was always curious about this... Have a blue Redhawk barrel with Hamilton that is being re-bored to .475 for a blue .480 Redhawk some day.
Might be worth revisiting.

The link is still active, so I would assume this means it is still available. Contacting the seller would probably be the fastest way to get full confirmation either-which-way.

I actually handled that very gun at Gun Stop and it was meh... Seemed like it was not "as new looks unfired" as their ad on Gunsamerica says, and I find it hard to understand why they would claim that. Maybe it was handled a whole bunch and not actually shot but there's nothing "as new" about the gun I handled, unless by some random fluke they have more than one identical revolver in their inventory. I was there in the end of April and it was still for sale then.
