my friend has a Redhawk with I believe a 7 1/2" barrel. It is indeed a sturdy handgun. What I like most about it though is the sights. It has a V notch rear and a gold beaded front sight much like the open sights of a rifle.
Bronko those sights you mentioned are an accessory.In Ruger's 2003 Catalog they are listed Cat#GBVR Gold Bead,Rear Deep "V' 14.60. I agree they are allot nicer sight.They would probably be a couple dollars more then last years prices.
