Bowen Redhawk .45 Colt
My revolver has been in the shop for a little over a month now.
It’s finished and I got the invoice in Saturday’s mail.
Very reasonable.
I’ll pay it on Monday and see if I can’t get it in hand in the next week or two.

This one isn’t fancy. Just their basic package.
Plus adjusting headspace and endshake and a lanyard loop.

Re: Bowen Redhawk .45 Colt
I’m afraid I didn’t read this correctly.
BOTH of the revolvers I sent to Bowen are ready to ship.
Invoices paid so they just need to do final inspections and send them out.

.
A Redhawk in 45 Colt is one of the best guns there is, even a non-Bowenized one...!
...although a friend had one in 357 Mag (one of the older six-shot ones) and I voted it likely the strongest DA revolver there is, given the cylinder wall thickness, and the lowest-recoil 357 Mag since it was so heavy. Kind of like the 30 Carbine Blackhawks...

Re: Bowen Redhawk .45 Colt
I totally agree. Mine was a good shooter before I sent it off. But it needed a little TLC. It had signs of being rode hard and put up wet. Moreover it had no visible forcing cone.

Re: Bowen Redhawk .45 Colt
Oh, these will be nice.
I have a revolver that should be in today from Alan Harton. Bisley Blackhawk 45.

Re: Bowen Redhawk .45 Colt
Just my opinion, but the best accessory you can add to any handgun is a lanyard loop. I learned this after almost loosing a handgun.

Re: Bowen Redhawk .45 Colt
Update……both of my Bowen guns are done. However, they have been so inundated with new orders that they have been delayed in shipping. I told Hamilton that there’s no reason to rush.
Apparently the announcement of his retirement spurred more than a year’s worth of business to pour in in a very short time.
