The Redhawk, which has been in the Ruger line for 35 years, was Ruger’s first double-action revolver specifically designed for the powerful .44 Magnum cartridge. It embodies many advanced features such as a triple-locking cylinder, a unique single spring mechanism for a smooth, light trigger pull and all stainless steel construction.

The new model features a round butt frame for a more compact feel and hardwood grips that are checkered and textured, resulting in a solid grip and great control.

The 4.2 inch, half-lug barrel offers reduced weight and excellent balance. A fully adjustable black blade rear sight and red ramp front sight provide quick target acquisition.
