Herohog, The new 4" barreled Redhawks come from the factory with rubber grips and a different grip locater designed just for them. It is different than the longer barreled Redhawks. To use the same grips as the longer barreled Redhawks you have to change out the grip locator also. Jim

Quote: Has anyone used the Eagle grips? I assume that you have, Webley. On a 1-10, what do you rate them in comfort, aesthetics, and quality? I've never personally used them (all my S&W's wear Houges) but I've yet to meet anyone who has had anything bad to say about them.

Good decision. The GP100 is one of the best all round 357 revolvers currently in production. I have one and its a outstanding shooter. Good luck, roaddog28

+1 on the dog. They at least make some noise!

Before I would drop the money for the Smith, I would get a Ruger. It's much less, and it will let you know if you like the caliber enough to buy the Smith.

"I seem to remember reading somwhere that the .455 Webley & Scott autos were designed so that in addition to .455 Auto, they could also use .45 ACP ammo in a pinch." I don't buy it for a second. The two cases are fairly different in length, with the W&S case being longer. The Webley round works at significantly lower chamber pressure.

You will also love the wheel gun at the range when your not having to chase your brass all over the floor. I have lots of both and I shoot both often. I do love S&W revolvers and I buy the older ones with pinned barrels. For concealed carry I use a Sig P228 and sometimes a S&W Model 36 depending on what I'm wearing.

The Colt 2nd and 3rd gen black powder, cap and ball revolvers used raw barrel and cylinders supplied by Uberti. On some models, the grip frames came from Uberti. Remainder of parts are from North America. Machined, finished and assembled in the USA.

...and may well not be as reliable as some semi autos. They have a number of relatively small parts that are relied upon to ensure correct timing and operation. They are more complex machines than many may think. I can't say that I consider revolvers to have great advantages in terms of reliability, and perhaps they have disadvantages, but in terms of ease of use for those with limited handgun experience a double action revolver may well...
