Handled a few Redhawks recently and just couldn't make myself love them no matter how hard I tried but sure do love the 5.5 inch barrel length. Pulled the trigger today on a Super Redhawk in .44 Mag with the intention of having the barrel cut down to 5 or 5.5 inches. Anyone have a gunsmith in MN, IA, ND, SD of WI they'd suggest I utilize to do the work? Also, not sure it's a real tough decision to make but if you all were doing this, would you go 5 or 5.5 inches?

Thanks,

John

Not in the states you listed, but you might check with John Farner (Toomany Tools) in NM.

Jim Kobe is in Minnesota. I'm not sure how much work he does on handguns, though. He does beautiful work on long guns.

I've had Jim do some work for me on long guns but he does not work on handguns. Bummer, as you're right: he does great work!

gotta hit jim in the right mood - he used to do whole s&w 41 barrels complete from scratch. don't forget it will have to be resighted too
