Nice revolver- I love it!

I shoot Redhawks, but I love the single actions, too.

I want Mr. Bowen to build me a single action on the other end of the spectrum- a Bearcat!

Good shooting.

Nice!

I have an Accusport SS Bisley waiting for a conversion. Can't decide between another Bisley (I have one by David Clements) or a Redhawk.

Choose the Redhawk and you will not be disappointed. I shoot them better than the single actions- I think it must be a faster "lock time".

It is a 500 Linebaugh. I have shot a 500 Linebaugh in Redhawk persuasion and it was much more painful to me than the Bisley's. I have no problem getting my SA's to shoot very well. I got a nice package deal on this gun with a full Von Ringler leather set (holster, belt and cartridge slide), lanyard, dies, brass, bullets and BB loaded ammo. Hope to be shooting it in a few weeks.

How about some custom Redhawk pix? Does Bowen do a grip reach reductions of some sort? Does it make a big difference as trigger reach has always been a problem for me with Redhawks?
