Just traded a buddy my old Beretta 32 auto and cash for a Ruger Redhawk double action stainless 7 1/2 inch barrel 44 mag. Have not shot it yet but boy it is a pretty impressive hunk of steel. Can hardly wait to get to the range.

Sounds like you did very well in that trade and your [new to you] Redhawk should last a very, very long time.
And ditto what muttmutt said regarding the pics.

Hi all,
I have never took a digital picture before tonight. My wife got a cheap camera free and you guys motivated me to try it. I got a picture, loaded the software, and downloaded the picture to the computer. Now the big question. How do you go about posting it on this forum. Thanks for the help as I am learning all kinds of new things on this forum. Very nice group of folks here.

Very nice Redhawk Harry, though being a Ruger how could it not look good? The beautiful thing is it'll perform even better. Going to take it out for some range time in the near future?

You'll like it. I have it in .454 Cassull. I put a Leupold EER scope & laser grips on it. Below is a link to a thread with a picture of it.

For a free camera I'd say thats a pretty good picture.harryk said:Not a great pic, but I can't believe I figured it out without help.

With the weight of the gun and that longish barrel I don't think that the recoil will be that bad IF the gun/grips fit your hand. I put it this was as I discovered that Smith N frames (in my case a 629 aka large frame 44 magnum) don't work with my hands but a small frame 357 doesn't bother me.

Took it to the range tonight. Only 33 foot range but grouped at about 4 inches. Very impressed with this guns accuracy. With practice I am sure I will be able to get very good groups. Definatly gets attention at the range. Let a young guy shoot it and he was all grins. I think this is my favorite gun now. At least until the next one.

Harryk, you don't mind if we call you......Dirty Harry......seeing how you got that big .44 mag?
I know what you're thinkin' punk, you're thinkin': "Did he fire six shots, or only five?" Now to tell you the truth I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being this is a .44 Magnum; the most powerful handgun in the world and will blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself a question, "Do I feel lucky?"... Well, do ya, punk?!
Gotta love Clint Eastwood.

They just replayed that movie this week here on cable! I walked in just as that scene was playing. Seeing your post brought a smile to my face! Yeah, I thought about it because, THE JUDGE if your looking down the barrel at that huge cylinder looks even bigger than the 44's I have seen. No I do not think I am Dirty Harry, but the point is well taken,kingofwylietx said:Harryk, you don't mind if we call you......Dirty Harry......seeing how you got that big .44 mag?

Maybe that is why I love that huge hunk of Mat Stainless, and I do love to shoot it also.
.45 or .44 gee whiz, who needs a 454, or 500 unless your gonna kill elephants or very large bears.
