I have a SS 629 Smith I bought a few years ago with 3" barrel and unfluted cylinder and I was told it came from Lew Horton's shop. Is the only way to tell for sure to pay Smith for a history search? All you have to do is call Ruger.Also I have a Ruger Redhawk with a 5 1/2" barrel and a high-gloss finish ( HGSS )Mfg. 1998. Is the high-gloss finish a low production model? I have not seen another.I guess I could call Ruger and maybe they would tell me more than the Mfg. date.


Alway's try to do the right thing...Don't put up with any crap.

  JEP,the Ruger Hi Gloss is on the rare side .I had a .357 Redhawk 7.5" and called Ruger.They said they made them but did not say how many.Until I read your post I had never seen any except mine.If I can find a picture I'll post it.
