THE TRANSACTION: This was my third purchase from Bud's; first time to utilize their 90-Day Layaway plan. Besides their price point, I have come to value Bud's service: sending confirmation emails at key steps during the payment/fulfillment/shipping cycle. Likewise, the transfer of the revolver at my local FFL was a very smooth process.

THE GUN: Have been looking for a longer-barrel .44 Magnum for the past 6 months or so; the first choice was a Ruger "Bisley Hunter", but none were to be found thru Bud's .... always "Out Of Stock" when I was in position to purchase. The "Redhawk" was my second choice. This is my latest acquisition of a Ruger pistol or revolver .... as in previous purchases, I find the fit, finish, construction. and function of this revolver to be excellent. I was impressed with the factory rosewood stocks being almost a book face match in figure. But their size and smooth surface made the gun hard to handle in my hands when shooting magnum loads. So, I opted to replace them with a Hogue® Monogrip®. So far I have put some 250 rounds thru the Redhawk, an equal mix of .44 Special and Magnum "pet" handloads, with no issues. On the downside, I find the trigger pull to be a tad on the heavy side for both single and double action. Other than this, I really enjoy shooting this revolver!
