What’s Included
- Ruger Redhawk .44 Rem Magnum revolver
The Redhawk’s stainless-steel construction includes a one-piece solid frame without sideplates, finished in brushed stainless on the frame and cylinder. The long 7.5 inch barrel carries a full-length serrated rib and a partial ejector-rod shroud for added rigidity and controlled sight tracking.
Its six-shot, fluted, swing-out cylinder uses Ruger’s push-button release and a triple-locking system that secures the cylinder front, rear, and bottom. The action is double-action/single-action with an exposed hammer, and a single-coil spring powers both the hammer and trigger for consistent operation.
Sighting components include a ramped front sight with an orange/red insert and an adjustable rear sight. The revolver wears hardwood grip panels with Ruger medallions for a classic, durable grip surface.
Chambered in .44 Rem Magnum, this Redhawk is also compatible with .44 Special ammunition. It was manufactured in the USA in 1997 and represents the robust Redhawk design known for strength and straightforward serviceability.
