Aha, thanks. I just learned mine is 1987 manufacture.
Wolfeye mentioned Hogue rubber grips for these guns.
I have a set of these..somewhere..unless I threw them away, which is very likely. These one-piece grips fill in the space between trigger guard and frame, and shift the hand...
Congratulations on your purchase of a heavy, unwieldy massive chunk of steel that shoots through schools!
I love Redhawks. Where did you check for the manufacture date? I'd like to see when mine was made.
Anyway, for mounting scope, I think you'll need a set of Ruger's proprietary rings...
Interesting.
(edit) this shows up as a thread by Sonier, who is not registered and does not have an account. There aren't any posts in the thread (well, except mine, which is technically a reply and not new post). I just wanted to see if I could post in it. Woo I'm super special.
That's where a sideplate screw used to sit, I think? I don't have a Smith in that model, so I'm not sure.
But I'm guessing the screw rusted in place, so the owner tried removing it by drilling from the left side of the frame. He stopped when he realized he'd also destroy the trigger, or...
Because it's more comfortable?
For me it varies with the gat gun. For instance I'll hold almost every revolver straight. Same with a target .22 auto. But something about the shape and recoil of a larger-caliber automatic makes me tilt the thing to the side. Very slightly for a Sig, about...
How about a Browning Hi-Power? Ambidextrous safety and magazine release are easy to find on google. And, though I can't find one right away, there are ambi slide release kits - they replace the original release lever/pin with a two-part one.
It'll still throw empties to the right though...
1911s are nice but you already have two good guns for defense or whatever. A .22 will allow you to get a lot of practice on the cheap - there's no arguing with paying $25 or less for a pack of 500 rounds.
Also, a Mk.II or III is just fun as hell. Accurate, reliable, almost no recoil at all.
Someone recommended Ruger? Seriously?
First of all you need a mallet to dislodge the mainspring housing assembly/bolt stop pin. Not always - but it's always been a very tight fit on all new Rugers I've handled. Second, keep that mallet if you want to separate the upper from lower for...
Seconded. I loved the first three books, years and years ago. Pity the series turned to pure unadulterated suck.
More gun writing from that hack includes an M-16 that recoiled so hard trying to fire it was like shooting a jackhammer, and especially Roland's revolvers. Several times King...
Depends on the store.
Something big like Cabela's can eat the mistake. Especially if it's a hundred bucks on a four-hundred-dollar item.
Smaller place? Pawn shop, or an independent gun store? I'd bring the price to someone's attention.
Stephen King is the only one I know of that actually wrote about a pump-action side-by-side shotgun.
(I just know somebody's going to reply to this by posting link to that thread with two Remington 870s bolted together)
Ruger Mk.II or Mk.III.
Disassembly/reassembly is only a huge pain if you aren't used to it. Thankfully there's a lot of instruction on the web. I struggled with my Mk.II when I took it apart last week, then I watched this

Really? Damn. I was JUST about to ask you for the perfect powder to use with my .44 Magnum reloads that use 1/2inch styrofoam bar stock in extra-thick-walled adamantium cases with large shotgun primers and are fired from a custom five-inch-barrelled barrelled special-run-of-13 S&W model 29...
Big Matt, you're giving the author a bit too much credit here. Henry Bowman reads like a Mary Sue character. It's Ross' self-insertion character made perfect.
Except maybe for that bit about murdering a senator and sexually assaulting the corpse.
Then again, I don't know what John Ross...
