The Ruger Redhawk is a large frame double action revolver, based on Ruger's Security Six line. It is available in both blued and Stainless Steel finish. What distinguishes it from other revolvers is the fact that it was intentionally built with substantial reinforcements in the frame, chamber and cylinder, making it capable of taking very hot custom hand loads. This design feature was done to cater to the custom loaders, ever searching for more powerful handgun cartridges. At the time of it's introduction, 1979, it was the most powerful handgun in the world, being that it could take the .44 Magnum cartridge, custom loaded to maximize velocity. Such 'hot' loads were not recommended for any of the other .44 magnum handguns at the time, including the venerable Smith & Wesson Model 29/629. Since then other larger calibers and handguns have been introduced.

In 1987, Ruger released the Super Redhawk, based on the GP-100 revolver. Unlike the original Redhawk, the frame extends out an additional 2 1/2" to allow for the mounting of a scope. Since it's introduction, Ruger has pared back the original Redhawk line to the .44 Magnum and .45 Colt cartridges, with the larger chamberings only offered in the Super Redhawk.
