Can not get away from wanting one. Been lusting after 4 inch Redhawks,and SW 586 /627. But,have been toying with the idea of a Taurus 357 or 44 mag 4 inch Tracker, or the model 66 or 44.
What are some the Misfits favorite 4 inch double actions?

An 8 shot 357 would be sweet!

with a SW 625 45 acp. Also have a 25-13 45 Colt mountain gun. The 25-13's a bit light for a range session with heavy loads...I'm sure a Ruger 45acp/45Colt Redhawk is hard to beat as well.

several years ago we came out with our 4"

Redhawk in our Night Hawk. A couple of years later Ruger added it to their line up. About 20 years before that we came out with our Alaskan Survivor which was the Redhawk with a 3" barrel in the big calibers. One of the big gun companies threatened to sue us for the word Survivor so we changed it to Alaskan Survivalist. Several years after that Ruger added that to their line up also even keeping the Alaskan name. So we have been headquarters for the 4" or shorter snubbie big caliber Redhawks and also the snubbie S&Ws. In 1987 we were cutting S&W model 29s and 57s down to 2" and they were extremely popular too. Here are some of the pics of the various snubbies we have come out with thru the years.

This next one is from the mid 1980s when we were doing a lot of S&W model 29s.

of them in larger calibers like 475 Linebaugh, 510 GNR, 500 Linebaugh and such. There are a certain group of shooters that love those big caliber snubbies.

Model 19. I love the M-29 too.....but if I had to pick one to take along in bear country, it would be a Redhawk.

It’s a budget thing. Used K-frame class stuff

Is running at least $500 and the bigger N-frame class and bigger are around $1000 used. Give or take, painting with a wide brush.

The GP100 is a fantastic gun too. I have one custom, a L-frame and K frame Smiths. Some smaller J and SPs too

The bigger frame guns are a different class. I love N-frames. My favorite is the tapered barrel .357 and .44. Which I have neither. Mine are 8-3/8 and 6.5”. I love the 4” Redhawk.

It’s your cheeseburger.

All of my S&W revolvers are 4 inch; my
