The Ruger Super Redhawk revolver, chambered in .480 Ruger, is specifically engineered for substantial power output. It provides a robust, purpose-built platform for handgun hunting and demanding field applications where reliability and terminal performance are critical. This 7.5-inch model is constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring component integrity and operational longevity even in challenging outdoor conditions.
Key Features
Reinforced Frame Design
The Super Redhawk’s architecture integrates an extended frame with additional material strategically placed in critical stress areas, including the top strap, sidewalls, and barrel mounting. This structural reinforcement allows the revolver to safely manage the significant internal pressures generated by high-performance hunting ammunition, optimizing long-term durability.
Triple-Locking Cylinder System
A triple-locking cylinder mechanism is incorporated to ensure precise bore alignment during ignition. This system secures the cylinder at the front, rear, and bottom of the frame, providing consistent chamber-to-bore lockup and dependable operation under substantial recoil forces.
Precision Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel
The cold hammer-forged barrel features ultra-precise rifling. This manufacturing process contributes directly to consistent shot placement and facilitates simplified bore cleaning, maintaining projectile trajectory stability over extended use.
Recoil Mitigation and Ergonomics
Equipped with a Hogue Tamer Monogrip, which includes an internal cushion, the Super Redhawk effectively mitigates felt recoil from powerful loads. This design promotes enhanced shooter control and faster target reacquisition. The underlying peg-style grip frame provides an interface for customization with aftermarket firearm accessories.
Integrated Sighting System
The revolver features a fully adjustable rear sight, providing precise elevation and windage control. This is paired with a fixed, replaceable red ramp insert front sight, optimizing target acquisition in varied light conditions.
