Originally posted by ADfields View PostNo, Alaskan is Super Redhawk with the big frame extention up front, post type grip frame and the more tunable GP100 type guts . . . Redhawk has a conventional frame like a Colt/Smith and a single main spring that is also the trigger spring.
So, I THOUGHT the (non-super) Redhawk was basically the Security Six in a 44, and the SP100 was basically the "new" Security Six, while the GP100 was the same as the Super Redhawk.

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don’t have one, you’ll probably never need one again

Originally posted by FL2AK-Old Town View PostI look at those two photos and see essentially the same gun.
The Super started as a Redhawk, but it got a very heavy shroud on the frame wrapped around the first inch or so of barrel. And a different grip angle, and different internals.
FWIW a 4" redhawk and a 2" super redhawk weigh within two ounces of each other.

Note the ejector rod on the SRH is housed in the longer frame and barrel to frame joint is ahead of that.
On the RH the ejector rod is housed in a barrel shroud not the frame and the barrel to frame joint is behind that.
Now note Travelers exploded views, SRH has a post like grip area that slips into a one piece grip and RH has a steel loop that two grip slabs attach to. And the guts are very different clockworks.Andy

So, if the Super Redhawk is like the GP100, which of those two designs is like the older Security Six? (The reason I ask, is I used to own a Security Six-wish I still did.)

Originally posted by elmerkeithclone View PostI've always liked the RedHawk but never cared for the Super version. I have never had a problem with a Redhawk and I guess I grew old with one and never needed the new version, thus never gave it a chance."Lay in the weeds and wait, and when you get your chance to say something, say something good."

Originally posted by BrownBear View PostSame here. Gotta say this is the first handgun to come along in years that has me tempted. My carry gun is a 4" Magnaported 629 with Pachmeyer finger-groove type grips. But I've always had to load the Smiths to lower pressures than the RH. If Pachmeyer engineers a similar grip for this one to keep it from shifting in double-action fire, my wallet is going to get lighter. Probably get a visit to Magnaport, too. Don't care about the velocity loss from the short barrel or porting. It's all about performance in DA.
Same here, like the RH, don't care much for the SRH. have two 4" RH's. Love them. This new one looks real nice, and i might have to look into one... but i still have a Bisley in .45 Colt at the top of my list.

I like them both but if you lop off the extra front frame from the SRH and screw on a barrel from a RH (or better yet a Colt) and ya got something great!Andy
