Anyone have one? Your thoughts for west side brush hunting (w/ the stainless model)? Looks like a perfect choice for close in targetry to me...

They are great guns. I have had both the Blackhawk and the Super Redhawk and work out great in the bush. I have taken Javalina and 2 deer with them and my room mate dropped a HUGE brown bear while we were in Alaska with one. If I had the money, I would have anotherone.

I like my bisley super blackhawk 7 1/2 in barrel. The only thing I would change is the grips and I can't. Because hogue and pac don't make any for the new model super black hawk. The originals aren't bad, but I sure would like to put a set of hogues on it.

i baught one in january this eyar for deer. put a scope on it and wasnt to confident with it past 30yds even with the scope. so i took the scope off and used it as my brush gun instead. man it sure was nice to carry compared to a enfield 303british or my winchester 30/30 both weighting the same about 6lbs.
imo a 44mag revolver is a perfect brush gun, the key to brush hunting is bullet weight (not so much velocity) and being able to move quickly. ive purposely shot at a target with branches in front of it
up to 1/2" thick at20yds with a target 15ft behind it to see how the bullet will react when it hits a branch. and most branches are not even 1/2" thick that people hit. and after seeing 7 out of 10 shots in the kill zone it was enough to convince me that a 44mag will work perfectly as a brush gun.
and like i said they are alot easier to carry then a rifle. even a small 30/30.

You can not beat a Ruger .44 mag for a brush gun. I carry my Redhawk every where I go when I am in the woods... Never know when you might need it.

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.
Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.
