A month or so ago I sent him a PM asking about the truth to a .45 fast twist Ultra Lite. I was strongly considering one. But the more I thought about it I decided I couldn't quite justify the extra money for the Ultra Lite, plus I had concerns about using the Ultra Lite with open sights. I know I could have them installed, but I know the gun was designed to be shot scoped so not sure how it would fit me. The Triumph was designed to mainly be shot scoped, and I can't get the open sights on it to line up.
And honestly, I like the innovations of the LHR and I'm really excited to try the Redemption out.

Anyway Kirby, Glad you took the plunge!! I will wait for your report and thoughts before I make a purchase. Still keep tossing around a stainless omega but can swing towards the redemption with a good report.

It's all good. I guess my take still is, and always has been, if you work for, get perks from, or just really like a certain company or gun more power to you. I'm glad you have the opportunity to test stuff for others. Just so long as you aren't real belligerent about it.
That said, I'm hoping to have the gun by then end of next week so I'll do the best I can for a review, but I think the gun is going to be good.

Superkirby, i got to handle one today at my local gun shop. I was very impressed overall with it. It felt very nice on the shoulder. It was priced at $799 and was the walnut version. I thought the ramrod was very weak for a gun this price, but other than that, it looks to be a very well built gun.
