Top one is a Redhawk converted to a 5 shot .500 Linebaugh
Next is a Redhawk converted to a 1917 .45 Colt
Third is a dressed up .32 Bisley
Last is a Nimrod .44 magnum. Behing the Nimrod is Bowen's Perfected Bisley, 5 1/2" barrel, target length ejector rod, new sights.

Most of the Bowen's were guns I had done over a 10+ year period. Most have gone on to other owners as I searched for just the right one! The two flat tops; .44 special & .44 magnum I still have :)

I had .500 Linebaugh in Redhawk and a Bisley Nimrod. Both were more pleasant than I would have expected. The Redhawks recoil felt a little more brisk or faster than the Bisley to me. I thought both were less recoil than a .454 Casull in a Freddom Arms M 83.
