Overview
The Ruger Redhawk revolver is engineered for discerning users who demand robust construction and unwavering reliability, particularly when deploying potent magnum cartridges. This model integrates Ruger’s foundational design principles with enhancements focused on operational integrity and user confidence, establishing it as a formidable choice for field use or personal defense.
Key Features
Integrated Cylinder Locking System
The Redhawk features a proprietary triple-locking cylinder mechanism, securing the cylinder at the front, rear, and bottom. This design optimizes cylinder alignment with the barrel, ensuring consistent projectile flight path and mitigating gas leakage for enhanced energy transfer and dependable operation under sustained use.
Refined Trigger Mechanism
A single-spring mechanism is employed to deliver a smooth and consistent trigger pull, facilitating precise shot placement. This refined action contributes to the Redhawk’s shootability across various engagement scenarios.
Advanced Safety Integration
Security is paramount, and the Redhawk incorporates Ruger’s patented transfer bar mechanism. This system prevents the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed, providing a critical measure of passive safety against unintended discharge.
Engineered for Magnum Loads
Constructed from rugged stainless steel with an integral frame devoid of side plates, the Redhawk is purpose-built to withstand powerful magnum loads. Critical areas such as the top strap, sidewalls, and barrel mounting are reinforced with additional material, ensuring structural integrity and longevity even with high-pressure cartridges.
Versatile Chambering
This revolver is chambered for .357 Magnum cartridges and is also capable of reliably accepting and firing .38 Special ammunition, enhancing its utility and ammunition compatibility. The inclusion of three moon clips further facilitates rapid loading and unloading of .38 Special cartridges.
Optimized Sighting System
The sighting system features a durable colored insert front blade sight, providing rapid target acquisition. It is paired with an adjustable rear sight, equipped with a white outline, allowing for precise elevation and windage adjustments to match specific ammunition and shooter preferences.
