Redhawk 5.5 Blued

[Arizonagunrunner]

Has anyone heard that Ruger has or is going to discontinue the 5.5 bbl in the Redhawk? I sure like the one I have. It is a great shooter, and isn't that bad to carry.
And as a side note. Any Redhawk fans chime in. Do you prefer the blued model or the stainless one.

The blued 5.5" bbl Redhawk hasn't been in the catalog for quite some time. Seems about like two or three years to me, but I'm not sure of the exact date.

I think the blued models look better than stainless. I have a 7.5" bbl RH from 1989 and love it. NIB, never fired when I bought it. I fixed that problem real quick.

I like the balance of the 5.5" bbl better. The one I found was too good of a deal for me to resist, though.

Now I just need to get my paws on a 4" bbl RH. Good CCW weapon combined with weight training.
