[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1492373, member: 10178"] I liked the 5 1/2" 44 mag. Ruger Red Hawk I had better than the 29 S&W for the reason that I could tune it to my liking myself. Put Pachmayr grips on, changed the coil hammer spring to a medium weight Bullseye, polished up internal parts, changed the rear sight to a V-notch and put a gold bead front sight on and really made a nice hunting rig out of it. I was influenced by reading Bob Milek's stuff as to getting the 44 Red Hawk like his. Remember reading Bob's experience of shooting a black bear in the forehead at almost point blank range with the 357 mag and it only made it mad. Luckily he got a side angle and put his last bullet in the pistol through it's ear and killed it. Bob also influenced me to get into Contender pistols and start hunting with pistols. That was a long time ago. [/QUOTE]
