It's still a pretty big hand gun. Redhawk, Weaver 4 power scope and Hogue grips.  |

I tried pach's, and could never really feel comfortable with them. I have a sig .380 that I put a Hogue slipon on and it improved the feel 100%. Never looked into changing out the grips though. I would like an over sized pair for myBlackhawk. Need a bit more in the hand than the original's give me.

I really don't know why I bought this one, like erc says it is impractical if you don't hunt and I don't, but I reload and so I do shoot it a few times a year. That is the second scope as the first Weaver gave up after about 10 years. The first scope was a 2 power and I wish I got another 2 power instead of 4 power, you lose eye relief with more power so really have to work at shooting this thing. I have 2 more 44 Mags, A S&W mod 29 limited run with 3" barrel, not fun to shoot with Mags but great with 44 spec, and a Ruger Super Black Hawk custom by Gary Reader, real nice action job and is fun to shoot, wild looking also!

I was born with a bullshit radar. Evidently, many in America were not.
Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.

Don, are the grips really that dark and reddish? I just ordered a set from Houge and they look nothing like yours (on the Houge site) as far as coloring goes. Yours look good, don't get me wrong, just not near what I was expecting when I ordered from their image. I you don't mind, could you look at yours and the image on the Houge sight and give me an honest comparison? I know photos can leave a lot to be desired, but...........................................  |
