Always wanted one in .45 Colt but when in production the throats were always oversize resulting in accuracy problems. Sure would like it to be re-introduced with proper throat dimensions.
Never could understand why anyone would want an 8 shot six shooter but that's just me.
Come to think of it I believe old Hopalong Cassidy had a couple dozen shooter.
That's why I quit shooting magnums out of my Python many years ago but not just for that reason I grew out of magnumitis after going crazy with a Super Blackhawk. The timing issue has supposedly been resolved in the new revolvers, only time will tell.Do have some timing annoyances with the Colt but there's no telling how my full house loads I've put through it
Colt works hard at living up to their motto, "Clueless in Connecticut."Many, many, years ago I had some correspondence with Colt urging them to re-introduce the New Service as a .44 Magnum, or at least .44 Special and .45 Colt, and maybe give it the same treatment as the Python.
Colt sort of told me I knew nothing about such things.

Why not? MSRP on the Redhawk is over $1000 now.If they do bring it back. Bet it will resale for at least $1200.
No thank you. I'll stick with my Redhawk.
The new King Cobra is being sold for a ridiculous price of $750 or more.
No thank you.
I do regret very much selling my SS 6in King Cobra back in 99. Bout the stupidest thing I've done.
I wouldn't rule it out. Nobody expected a Python either.
