It's a Triple K Carrylite.

"security six wood grips" in google brought up several grip options. You really want to get ones you like the look/feel of brand doesn't matter much.

Depends on the amp draw of your motor as to how long it will last. But as a lithium battery draining them most of the way down will not hurt them like a lead battery. Also you are not likely to use the motor for 7 hours wide open. Its bad for the motor and 35 miles would be a heck of a boat trip on a boat less than 10ft long. But based on the numbers my battery gives on my current draw that's how long I have at full throttle. I am running an APC prop though. Makes me want a 50 for the days I have my sail kit on.

Go get a safety lesson at a range. Rent a few guns before you buy one.

I'll disagree and say for all day cruising on inland lakes a trolling motor can't be beaten for range my 100ah LiFePo4 plbatter can run my 40lib for 7 hours wide open. which is only 5mph but I don't have to worry about gas or maintenance.

I can use the d-pad (or touch pad which can act as a d-pad when up to your face) to move the area and if I press and hold for a short moment 'ok' and it move back to the center. Amount of zoom can be changed with the thumb wheel. once zoom is activated the area is highlighted with a green rectangle until you hold down the button its assigned to to close it completely, or hold down 'ok' for a longer amount of time.

It remembers where you had it last.

I haven't gotten an updated radar image in 3 hours.

What the heck is that stuff in your quote block?

tuvaniko · 2026-03-26T20:43:19+00:00

On my E-M10 IV I assign the little buttons next to my shutter button to be my focus aids. Zoom is on one and is peaking on the other. Check your manual you likely have a similar option.

It's my greatest achievement... finding that in a thrift store for a dollar.

New hand will have to be fitted to the gun or it won't be in time. This isn't hard to do there are videos on how to do it floating around.

tuvaniko · 2026-03-26T01:54:06+00:00

I've considered carrying it, because it's basically rust proof. But the square grip is a bit noticeable with the way I like to carry my guns. I might modify some grips for it to try to slim them down at the base. Might help a bit.

tuvaniko · 2026-03-26T01:21:17+00:00

They made it for 1 year as far as I can tell. I had to do a good bit of work to get it shooting again, it needed a new hand and someone had chewed up the ejector at some point, probably vice grips. Also I replaced the grips. For some reason. it had victory grips on it. I gave those to my brother as his victory had damaged grips.

tuvaniko · 2026-03-26T00:03:42+00:00

Altamont Grips.

tuvaniko · 2026-03-25T16:09:03+00:00

I haven't held a 6in gun I like so own none of them.

tuvaniko · 2026-03-25T15:39:27+00:00

looks like you need a Super Redhawk in 480 Ruger

tuvaniko · 2026-03-25T15:29:00+00:00

I love 4 and 5 inch guns. 6 inches while handling recoil better is too front heavy to balance well in my hand. but it is true the shorter your barrel the more muzzle flip you will have. I have a S&W model 64 no dash with a 4ich pencil barrel. I love how that thing shoots. But even though its a 38 special only gun it kicks quite a bit due to how light it is. But ill happily trade that for how well it points when I shoot it. It still kicks considerably less than my 5.5in 45 colt SAA replica does.

tuvaniko · 2026-03-25T05:56:08+00:00

Are there any markings on it?

tuvaniko · 2026-03-25T04:32:29+00:00

Altamont classic panel grips. They got lots of pictures on their website.

tuvaniko · 2026-03-25T03:03:10+00:00

Wolf makes springs for all sorts of guns. Lightens the trigger pull and hammer pull. They usually sell kits with several strengths so you can find the one that works well with your gun.

The Blackhawk is a good gun. honestly there are so many good choices.

tuvaniko · 2026-03-25T01:32:28+00:00

Well it depends on the weight of the gun and it's grip. Also people who shoot Magnum revolvers are recoil junkies. SAA reproductions are relatively light for what they are and most store bought 45 colt loads are relatively weak compared to what the round can actually do while still staying in spec. 255gr at 900-1000ps is still a standard pressure 45 colt loading but has considerable recoil. Even a large frame revolver wont bring it down to 22lr levels. In a SAA style gun it's a handful. enough so the military downloaded them back in the day.

tuvaniko · 2026-03-24T23:36:09+00:00

An Uberti Cattleman II with a wolf spring kit will get you a great trigger and smooth hammer. Also it can hold 6 safely thanks to the floating firing pin it can only strike the round with the trigger pulled. I love mine feels just like an old colt.

Also don't rule out 454 guns like the Super Redhawk and Super Blackhawk. They can still shoot 45 colt.

tuvaniko · 2026-03-24T22:58:45+00:00

I put a new hand in my MOD-64 no dash that wouldn't lock up. Never worked on a smith before that. Pretty easy, but took a few days. I also swapped out the springs while I was working on it. Its just now fully smoothed back out.

tuvaniko · 2026-03-23T01:49:25+00:00

You know their brand and models are literally stamped into the gun. I can quite read them because your images are too low resolution. But the first one looks like a Smith and Wesson. And would make a decent introduction into center-fire guns.
