The Wesson Hawk is a Ruger Redhawk fitted with a Dan Wesson barrel system
With changeable cylinders and barrel for caliber change. I currently have in 45 and 44 mag. And a 480 that will soon be fitted making it a 3 caliber set.

a very interesting custom conversion.....I know Dan Wesson revolvers can be very accurate and with the three caliber cylinders you really have a "one gun fits all" system....notice the extra side screw...is that for cylinder crane removal???

Very beautiful...and interesting. Nice!


If it were supposed to be easy, they'd have sent my little sister to do it.

Yes the side screw makes cylinder change simple and fast.

Very interesting and great looking piece! If you don't mind, who is doing this conversion?


It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
