Ruger Redhawk 45 ACP/45 Colt 4.2" Stainless
Dual-caliber Ruger Redhawk revolver in .45 ACP/.45 Colt with 4.2" cold hammer-forged barrel, satin stainless steel construction, adjustable sights, and lasered hardwood grips. Six-round capacity with included moon clips.
The Ruger Redhawk: A Revolver Built for Power and Precision
The Ruger Redhawk stands as one of the most formidable double-action revolvers ever manufactured. This particular model chambers both .45 ACP and .45 Colt cartridges, giving you flexibility in ammunition selection while maintaining the raw stopping power these calibers are known for.
Construction and Durability
Ruger engineered the Redhawk with no side plates—a design choice that maximizes structural integrity. The stainless steel frame and cylinder feature extra metal in critical areas: the top strap, sidewalls, and barrel mounting points. This robust construction is specifically designed to handle powerful magnum loads reliably, shot after shot.
The cold hammer-forged sleeve and shroud barrel delivers exceptional accuracy while contributing to the revolver's overall strength. A triple-locking cylinder—secured at the front, rear, and bottom—ensures positive alignment and dependable operation under demanding conditions.
Ergonomics and Control
The single-spring mechanism produces a smooth, light trigger pull that enhances both accuracy and control. The lasered hardwood grips provide a secure, comfortable hold, while the exposed hammer allows for traditional single-action shooting when precision matters most.
Sighting System
The front sight features a replaceable colored blade insert, allowing you to customize your sight picture. The adjustable rear sight with white outline enables quick target acquisition and fine-tuning for different ammunition loads.
Safety and Practicality
Ruger's patented transfer bar mechanism provides an unparalleled level of security against accidental discharge. The revolver ships with three full moon clips that serve dual purposes: they function as speed loaders for .45 ACP rounds and facilitate ejection of spent cartridges.
