#Redhawk

REMEMBER the  four rules of gun safety:

Ruger has an ample amount of Redhawks currently in their line-up, but you can never have enough revolvers, right? We did not have the chance to interview Ruger or take a statement, but we will venture to guess that they  would tend to agree.

Ruger has a LOT of new firearms that they are introducing to consumers for 2018, but some of them tower in popularity above others. It was pretty easily recognizable by how long the lines were to shoot and test firearms at SHOT Show’s Industry Day at the Range. The number one firearm on that list is easily the PC9 Carbine that, like a phoenix, has risen again from the ashes.

When it comes to revolvers, no company is going to re-invent the wheel (or the wheelgun), but they can always be refined. That is exactly what Ruger has done with two of their Redhawks. In both a 4.2″ and 5.5″ barrel configuration they have added in sleeve and shroud barrels to help improve the accuracy.

We are officially less than a month away from SHOT Show now and the new models for 2017 continue to roll in. Ruger recently announced two new caliber offerings in their GP100 and Redhawk line of revolvers. Although it is not uncommon to see revolvers chambered in .44 Special or .357 Magnum nowadays, it is less common in these specific models. The beefier frame of the GP100 plays host to the new .44 Special while the Redhawk downgrades from its typical .44 Magnum caliber to .357 Magnum.

Modern Ruger Redhawk revolvers are known for their big bore cartridges: .44 Magnum, .45 Colt and .45 ACP. While these cartridges are clearly powerful, none has the niche appeal quite like the latest caliber being offered in these guns: the .41 Magnum.

This video me a good laugh. It must have been damn scary!
