I am waiting on the arrival my new Switch Caliber Redhawk to show up. In the mean time a picture will have to do





This is a 44/45 caliber revolver. A Dan Wesson barrel system was fitted to a 44 Mag Redhawk frame and a complete 45 Colt cylinder and frame was added with quick change capabilities. When the revolver arrives I will give it a complete evaluation and post the results

Very interesting.


Rod, too.

Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

That is quite nice--like the grips-


If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

So he can kill squirrels with the little .429 and at the blink of an eye, switch to a serious caliber.

COOL!!!

The DW shroud mates up well with the Redhawk frame. Then any length DW shroud would fit, just need the right barrel threaded properly. Have a scoped and unscoped shroud, for quick change.
