Hello All, I picked up my auction win today at my local gun store after a 2 week wait. Ruger Redhawk in 45 colt done by Clements Custom Guns. I contacted Mr. Clements prior to the firearm arriving and he told me what he remembered about the build. He said it was done 20 to 25 years ago. When I looked at the cylinder only 4 throats had carbon burn. I shot heavy doses of 2400 under the 45-270-SAA Medium Mihec HP today with no ill effects. The recoil was easily manageable with the Pachmayr Presentation grips. I found a set of the Uncle Mike's grips and Pachmayr Grippers but neither fit my hand well. Thanks for looking and any comments.

Dave builds top quality revolvers. I'm expecting a tracking number from him tomorrow on my latest from him.
Congratulations and absolutely no way to go wrong. If Dave built the gun, it'll be right...

Those full lug RedHawks seem to be all the rage!!! Ought to help with recoil, nice gun.

That’s a beauty! Slabside barrel, bead blast finish, my favorite caliber, what’s not to like.

This is the gun which prompted me to ask here about when the various iterations of the Redhawk came about.
The stainless 44 came years before a 45 was released. And apparently someone just HAD TO HAVE a 45.
Nice score! She's a beauty!

Neat looking gun
I have a Super Redhawk for use as donor with a slab barrel in the overall plan.
It's a 44 and I'm thinking about keeping it that way for the project.

I'd like to see a view of the muzzle. My eyes are seeing an octagon barrel, with the under-lug occupying the bottom flat, and the rib occupying the top flat.
