The REDHAWK, with its robust frame, large-diameter barrel shank and capacity for larger cylinders, is an excellent candidate for 5-shot caliber conversions. Like the 5-shot single-action cylinders, the bolt notches fall between the chambers rather than over them where the chamber walls are thinnest. The cylinders are also significantly longer, even in the .41 and .44 Magnums, which allows the use of the heavy bullets necessary to effective big game hunting performance. The distinctive unfluted cylinders are chambered for the same cartridges as the 5-shot single-actions. The .50 Action Express cartridges are loaded and fired in full moon clips much like
those used on .45 ACP revolvers.

Each conversion includes a complete action tune with an over-travel stop. Barrels or receivers are remarked as to caliber designation where appropriate. Please specify caliber and barrel length, where applicable. Please note that we recommend that the .475 be chambered in only the Super model Redhawk. Recoil is
brutal in the standard model in this caliber.

This variation on the ‘Alpine’ theme shares all of the fine attributes of its 6-shot cousin but with a tremendous infusion of power. Thoroughly unpleasant to shoot with heavy loads, these guns are nonetheless a great comfort in the streams and on the trails of serious bear country.
