Im new to this forum. I just purchased a Ruger .357 Magnum Redhawk 5.5" SS. Does anyone here have any idea on its value? Its a 9 out of 10 condition. I payed $400 and im wondering if its a decent price to pay. Either way im keeping it just wondering on the price paid/value. Thanks for any info.
 
I think you did pretty well,2 years ago I purchased a Redhawk in .41 mag and gave $500.00 for it.The .357 mag Redhawks are hard to find.
 
Thanks. I really hadnt seen one till yesterday and i jumped on it today after doing some quick researching on it. Cant wait to try it out this weekend.
 
The 357 Redhawk is a very rare bird and no longer made. $500 is a great price. It is at about $200 less than I have ever seen one
 
Outstanding handgun, but heavy.

No stronger 357 made.
If you like to,play with heavy bullets (180-200gr) that's THE gun to use.
 
I passed one up at a gun show a few years back and have been kicking myself ever since. It was marked $350 and odds are I could have talked the guy down a little. Stupid, stupid, stupid. :(

$400 is a good deal assuming it's in good condition, especially with today's prices.
 
Well seems i did real good and yes its in great condition. Its been used but definately not abused. I just wanted to confirm it. Ill try and post pics soon. Thanks everyone.
 
Welcome to the forum and thanks for asking our advice.

$400?

I would have jumped on that gun with both feet and kissed the seller on the mouth. (well, maybe)

You got a GREAT gun for a terrific price.

I believe there were only 5,000 of the 5.5" ever made. They are favorites for handloaders who want to push the power envelope and highly sought after. A bit heavy for everyday carry, but the 5.5" barrel makes for an easier carry than the 7.5" barrel. If you want to hunt wild pig with a handgun (up to a reasonable size limit), this is the cat's meow.

@Lost sheep..thanks i actually passed on it the first day then went back and got it the next..i know im crazy but after i researched a little i couldnt get there soon enough. Well im glad i did good and look foward to shooting it very soon. As for the hunting with it i might just try it. Thanks ..:)

I passed on the chance to buy two Colt 4" Pythons for $950.00 once - yes - it was $950.00 for both, not each...that was about 12/13 years ago...

Now you can peacfully sleep knowing you're not the stupidest person on the planet ;).
 
You STOLE it.

That is probably as close as you'll ever get to an indestructible .357 magnum.

I had one for a couple of years when they first came out, but sold it to try some other dream. The shooting I did with it (I had the .41 and the .44 at that time) convinced me that I was actually shooting a .32 instead of the big, bad .357. All that steel really dampens the recoil.

Very nice gun, at a ridiculously low price.
