Could Ruger make a GP100-frame revolver in .45ACP if they wanted to? A six shot one, I mean?
Currently, all six-shot .40-.45 caliber revolvers are on large frames, like Ruger's Redhawk and the N-Frame. (Is the Redhawk larger than the N-Frame or just heavier?)
I was wondering how necessary it is. I mean, cylinder wall width is important if you want a strong gun. I can use my own 25-5 as an example of that. It's a beautiful .45 Colt six gun, with a smooth action and perfect lockup. I can't, however, fire the full-house moderized .45 Colt hunting loads through it because it can't take it. For that reason I'm probably going to buy a .45 Redhawk.
Furthermore, could they make a 6-shot .41 Magnum or 10mm gun on the GP100 frame? Or would the cylinder walls be too thin?
