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.
