A few weeks ago, during a discussion about the Ruger Redhawk, I mentioned that my LGS had one in 45 Colt that I sort of liked, but didn't want another cartridge to fool with, especially since 45 Colt ammo is pretty pricey. A couple of people told me that it might be cut for 45 ACP and moon-clips. I already load for 45 auto, and it's a lot less expensive than the "long stuff," anyway, so I went back and it was still there. And it is the 45 Colt/45 ACP model. Near new condition, with the box, papers, padlock, moon-clips, just like it left the factory I suppose.
It is a BIG, HEAVY gun. It could probably double as a canoe anchor. It's a good thing the only way it will ever be carried is in a range bag. The grips look small, and are for such a large gun, but are surprisingly comfortable in my hand. I don't know how they feel at the range, but hope to get there in the next couple of days to give it a try, work permitting.
