PRODUCT FOCUS Eight-shot Minor caliber revolvers dominate USPSA, as well as Limited and Open Divisions in ICORE, but are also very effective in Steel Challenge. You can run hard and get two misses before you have to slow down and make deliberate hits, as opposed to the one miss that a six-shot gun allows. Lacking a legal holster, I wasn't able to shoot it in a match, but I did get to my club on a "practice day" when they had Roundabout set up. I started with my .22LR optical sight pistol from the normal Low Ready position to get a "time line." Then, I shifted to the Redhawk from the same Low Ready position. My times with the Redhawk weren't far behind the A Class times I was recording with the .22LR! The heavy gun tracked smoothly, and the locked-in grips kept the sights on the target. No revolver is truly ready for upper level competition as it leaves the factory. At least not for discriminating shooters. But the new eight-shot Redhawk doesn't take much. Add some comfortable grips, maybe a spring kit, and it's ready for any match. * 18 APRIL 2018 | SSUSA.ORG Accuracy Chart Accuracy tests conducted from a 25-yard sandbag rest shooting single action.
