help!!


Recommended Posts

ok i have a guy at work who told me he would sell me his Ruger Super Red Hawk .44, with a case and holster. he said he had some trigger work to lighten it up so it squezzes easier. he also said something else but i cant remember what it is i know it goes along with reloading your own shots. i wanna say fibers it dont sound right. i know he keeps good care of his guns because i have seen some of his guns. he told me $400 and i was wondering if it is a good deal.

Re: help!!

Super Red Hawks will range from ~$300 in 95% condition up to ~$550 in 100% condition.

If I were you I would insist on having a competent gunsmith check out the trigger. You shouldn't buy the gun unless it's completely safe, unless you're willing to eat the cost of repair. I've seen some guns really screwed up as the result of some fine tuning done by some hack home gunsmithing.

I also wouldn't shoot his reloads either. I'm not saying they aren't safe, but you really don't want to be the one holding the gun if he's made a mistake while loading.

Re: help!!

yeah i know what you mean. i guess i shoulda mentioned that he took it to a gunsmith to get the trigger work done. i told him i wouldnt want to shoot his loads, he has had the gun for 2 years and has been reloading since but i still wouldnt trust it. i dunno if it makes a difference in cost but it also has the 9 1/2 barrel.
