The Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan is purpose-built as a compact, powerful revolver, designed to withstand and effectively deploy full-power .44 Remington Magnum loads in a highly reliable platform. Its construction emphasizes durability and operational precision for demanding applications.
Key Features
Robust Construction
The Super Redhawk’s extended frame design integrates additional material within the top strap, sidewalls, and barrel mounting areas. This structural reinforcement ensures exceptional integrity and longevity, specifically engineered to manage the significant pressures generated by magnum cartridges. The triple-locking cylinder mechanism secures the cylinder precisely at the front, rear, and bottom of the frame, optimizing alignment and ensuring consistent, dependable operation under strenuous conditions.
Recoil Mitigation
Integrated with a Hogue Tamer Monogrip, this system features an internal recoil cushion explicitly designed to significantly mitigate felt recoil from powerful loads. This ergonomic enhancement promotes greater shooter control, reduces fatigue during extended use, and facilitates faster, more accurate follow-up shots. The peg-style grip frame also allows for straightforward customization with aftermarket grips.
Operational Safety and Flexibility
A patented transfer bar mechanism provides a critical passive safety system, preventing the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is intentionally pulled to its full rearward position. This design enhances security during carry and handling. Furthermore, the revolver’s design supports dual chambering, enabling the use of both .44 Remington Magnum and the less powerful, more versatile .44 Special cartridges.
Barrel and Sighting System
The 2.50-inch barrel is cold hammer-forged, a manufacturing process that yields a barrel with superior concentricity, precise rifling, and an extended service life. Sighting is managed by a durable, fixed, replaceable insert ramp front sight, complemented by a fully adjustable rear sight. This configuration allows for precise elevation and windage calibration, adapting the point of impact to various ammunition types and shooter preferences.
