Ruger Redhawk is a double-action revolver chambered for .357 Magnum, designed as a heavy-duty platform built to handle sustained use of high-pressure magnum ammunition. The construction is based on stainless steel with a solid-frame, no-side-plate design, featuring reinforced areas in the top strap, sidewalls, and barrel mounting regions to enhance durability and strength.
The revolver operates in a double-action mechanism (DA) and uses a single-spring trigger system, providing a smooth and relatively light trigger pull. A transfer bar safety system ensures an enhanced level of protection against accidental discharge.
The cold hammer-forged barrel uses a sleeved and shrouded design, delivering excellent accuracy and long service life. The barrel features a 1:18.75" RH twist rate, optimized for .357 Magnum cartridges. The sighting system consists of an adjustable rear sight and a replaceable front blade with colored insert and white outline, allowing fast and precise target acquisition.
The cylinder has a capacity of 8 rounds and is secured by a triple-locking system (front, rear, and bottom lock-up), ensuring strong alignment and consistent operation shot after shot. Ergonomics are provided by wooden grips, complementing the revolver’s robust, traditional design intended for powerful magnum loads.
In terms of dimensions, the Ruger Redhawk features a barrel length of 2.75" (70 mm), an overall length of 210 mm, and a weight of approximately 1,247 g, making it a compact yet extremely durable revolver designed for high-power performance.
