Big Gun and Lil Gun....Ruger and Beretta

[Magiccarpetrides]

Comparison between my "new" Ruger .44mag Super Redhawk(thnx Kahrman) w/scope(thanks DBTN) and Beretta 21a Bobcat .22lr(thanks Glockster)

Pictured ammo is Thunderbolts for the Beretta and in order left to right Hornady 300gr .44mag, Speer Gold Dot 210gr .44mag, Magtech 240gr .44mag, Generic .44spcl

These new additions to the family were picked up Wednesday

Ha, the 44 ammo is almost as big as the Beretta!

[Magiccarpetrides]

Yeah I thought the comparison was pretty comical.

That scopes looks good on there. Make sure you give us a range report once you get it sighted in.

[Magiccarpetrides]

Oh you know I will....probably sight her in with .44 spcl so as to reduce wrist pain ;-D

I would like to shoot a Super Redhawk. Ive heard they are fun. The llittle Tomcats are neat. I like the flip up barrel.

[nightrunner]

are you getting into handgun hunting or just rec. shooting?

VERY nice guns there!

[Guest NormShaver]

congrats on your purchase!

What wrist pain?.A Super Redhawk is a very heavy gun.Add the weight of the scope and recoil will be very managable.

Cool...I hope you are right I didnt know how much heavier it would be then my friends S&W .44mag but that thing kicked pretty hard just figured this one would be the same...but now that you mention it the Ruger does seem quite a bit more Robust so maybe it wont be too bad.

[Guest Grout]

That rubber grip will help as well.I shot a .454 Casull Super Redhawk once with some heavy 300 gr.handloads.It was never painful but it did have a lot of recoil,I weigh about 160 soaking wet and had no problem with it.Who knows you may become a recoil junkie.

[Magiccarpetrides]

Well im the same size as you so maybe it wont be so bad after all.

wish i had a 44 like that...i have always wanted to shoot a deer with a .44 and see what happens...maybe for next season

I could be persuaded to sell it...im having a "Liquidation Sale" at the moment

Recoil shouldn't be that bad. I shoot a Super Blackhawk scoped with full power 240gr. loads and it's not that bad. I think the Super Redhawk may even be a little heavier than the SBH.

[Magiccarpetrides]

Yeah the Ruger Super Redhawk was a *****cat with 44spcl...44mag...WHOAH BOOM! but still manageable...surprisingly the most accurate round between the 210gr Speer, 240gr Magtech, and 300gr Hornady in 44mag for me seemed to be the Magtech. Really fun gun to shoot but after about 40 rds of magnum I was good to go lol.

Those Redhawks are nice! HJ

Love those Ruger Revolvers:) You still enjoying it? Also a huge Beretta Bobcat (Tomcat for me) fan. Flip up barrel is awesome. Wife loves hers.

Yeah I enjoy'd her quite a bit...very solid and well made firearm. Unfortunately I had to sell her to help fund my new class III/washer broke on me projects:mad: Hopefully I will get another down the road...I was extremely impressed with its build quality. The bobcat is a neat little gun but I mainly got it hoping the girlfriend might take interest in shooting and start out small...still no dice I might sell it, but the flip up barrel is definitely cool.
