I have one just like it in 38 Colt. It belonged to my grandfather, he carried it when he would go on his insurance collections (not the mob kind) in the 30’s.
He passed away in 2002 at the rip age of 103

Every shop I've been to cannot keep them on the shelves. Whitakers Gun had Ruger day a few weeks back. They had 20 on the first day that where gone by the second day.
Having owned both, I preferred the Redhawk with the 5.5in barrel. I feel you get more gun for the money when it comes to durability, especially when you shoot 300+ grain bullets.
Springfield is running a promo om the XD/XDM line at the moment.

Belong to my Grandfather, who passed away at the age of 103 in Dec 02. He sold insurance in the 30's, and slept with this pistol under his pillow as he would have the collection money in the house at night till he could get to the bank the next day. the caliber is .38 Colt.
