Picked this one up from a fellow NES'r. A Ruger Redhawk, .44 Magnum, 5-1/2" barrel.
I guess that I've come full circle. I had one these way back, first year of production, and let it go in a weak moment.
I see the Redhawk as a sort of "state of the art" example of modern revolvers.

Three pounds of wrist-snappin' fury. A real hairy fisted he-mans handcannon.[laugh]
If the Vikings would have had these, we'd all be talking funny. [rofl]

"I know what you're thinking.
Did he fire six shots or only five?
Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement,
I've kinda lost track myself.... you've got to ask yourself one question:
Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya punk?"

And the articulate reply:

"Mister, I gats to know."

I think of that quote when I'm shooting this one.[smile]

... I would love to find just a few Colt Clones... ..
You need to take a close look at the Ruger New Vaquero. They are as close as you want to get to a Colt. I have a 5-1/2" cc and blue in 45 Colt that is very nice. It is a completely different gun than the original Vaquero.
 
....So... are you more of a Ruger or S&W man?...

Yes. [wink]

I'm still working it out. We'll just have to see how it turns out in the end.
I've got just about one of everything interesting that Ruger makes, so I'm looking at more Smiths these days.
But, if the new 4" Redhawk ever makes the list, [smile]

I checkd one out a few days ago, and I do believe that I need to treat myself to one. I have no intention of dressing like a cowboy, but there is something inherently cool about SAAs.
