Thought that I would share with you 45 fans & redhawk fans --- noticed a 4" one on gunbroker. The ad states that they are quite rare. I would not know.

I had one-- they are nice guns--I wound up trading mine off--At that point in time I had 4 Redhawks--All have gone up the road motors--all but one was replaced with a S&W of the same cal.
One ofthe guys here converted one to 454 witha SRH cylinder--very nice conversion

If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.
Here's a before and after shot of mine. Shoots good and packs a wallop. The 45 Colt Redhawk cylinder is one beefy hunk of metal. Here's pretty good article about them.
I put a 454 cylinder in mine like Whitworth but the gun doesn't really need it. Ruger only 45 Colt load 355gr at 1150fps is pretty stout. It is cool to have a 6rnd 454 Redhawk though! And it is accurate, twice I've been able to shoot clover leafs at 25yds with 355gr wfns at 1300.
45 Colt, Nill Griffe grips. I have since sanded/smoothed/rounded the grips to fit my hand a little better. I had some pachs like whitworths and they just don't fit my hand. I may try some Butler Creeks for kicks.
454, magnaported with a 45 Colt friend and some food
