The Super RedHawk is a really nice gun the suggested retail is just over $1000.  I just don't like the price of ammo.  You can really feel the power when you touch one off.
There's a reason they call it hunting, not killing.

I have shot a lot of the super red hawks and the black hawks. I went with the 454 raging bull. I have shot more then a few animals with the 454 casull and I have always been happy with the cartridge :tup: The ruger's are o.k but the grips just don't fit my hands right. So even on the 44 mags I have shot they transfer a lot more recoil.

I have to agree with carpsniperg2 ... I like the Raging Judge.  .410 / .45 / 454 Casull

My buddy has a 460 s&w, he says it will shoot the 454, as well as the 45 LC I believe. Pretty neat gun but it's huge, he caries it as a side arm but I would only use it for hunting. I've shot it before it really doesn't kick too awfully bad but ear plugs are an absolute must

Put a good aftermarket grip on it and it's a pleasure to shoot.

That is correct my buddy has the hunter model in both the 460 and 500.

 :tup: I have the super redhawk scoped out. I love it. I was lucky years ago. A buddy bought it brand new and traded it to me for my super blackhawk in 44 mag. He didn't like the recoil of the 454. :yike: Hell yeah straight trade.  I payed only $327. 00 brand new for the super blackhawk and hunted with it for many year. I think he paid 700.00 or so. I made out big on that deal. It is not cheap to shoot, but if you reload you save a lot of money. I have taken many deer with my pistol using the 250gr barnes, 300gr gold dot and the 300gr sierra sp. They all work great on big game. :tup:

I ended up going to federal way discount guns this evening and picked up a awesome Smith and Wesson 44 mag 629 classic. This thing is a beauty!!! I also picked up a Galco Leather holster for it as well. Now i just cant wait to get out and shoot this beast.

For cheaper shooting you should be able to shoot 45 colt out of the 454.
Bang...Flop......No tracking required.
