Hey /k/ does any of you own a Ruger Redhawk in .357 magnum? Do you think it would be good for CC?
3 inch barrel with 8 shots of 357 magnum sounds like it would, but i haven't seen anybody talk about it recently and that's kinda weird. Is there a reason why this firearm is so unpopular?

I really want an eight round Redhawk, but that barrel length is retarded.
Check out these numbers: http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/357mag.html
A four inch barrel is the minimum barrel length for 357, and six is honestly the best in terms of performance to overall size and balance.
If Ruger brings this out in the standard Redhawk sizes I will be first on the list for one.

Well, it just came out. I haven't even seen one in any of my local gunshops.
Ballistic data aside, I really like snub nose magnums. No, they aren't ideal, but they have a certain charm. A gun like that will basically last forever, takes common ammo with a wide range of power and applications, and some will think it has a cool factor.
Guns are like cars. In some sense, getting a 14mpg muscle car is kind of dumb, but there's no denying that it's got an appeal.
People haven't been talking about it because it's just been released.
>Do you think it would be good for CC
It weighs over 50 oz. loaded, dude.

It is a functioning small handgun, so yes. Enjoy your numbers, charts and memes though.

you must be the yankee marshall. jam that wheel gun up your dick shithead.

You're not doing much better than a 38 snub which is cheaper to shoot and easier to conceal.

ev eryone knows plastic is stronger than pot metal
i once seen a kid beat another kid to death with a nerf gun

Wow, a compact for a caliber that can sort of match a lukewarm target load for .357 Magnum, and a bullshit quasi-DAO trigger, 10mm fags did it again!
Also investment casting =/= pot metal, it's steel like any other gun.

Sounds like an interesting story to hear
>>32922700
convenient? hell no
boner assuming direct control? yes
I want the 6"
>>32922700
No, they are fucking huge. They're actually bigger than my SuperRedhawk Alaskan but weigh the same. They're more compact than the long barrels and you can carry them, but I don't think they were designed for normal self defense.
