ruger super redhawk alaskan

coolest thing since sliced bread,

heres the specs and bout everything youd want to know about. cept for what the recoils like, im sure she has hefty kick to her.


http://ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/N...-11-2004B.html


i gota have one thats all there is to it. then maybe end up with the same superredhauwk with 7.5" barrel. that way i could hunt with the bigger redhawk and have this for protection. all with the same ammo. to bad they arent chambering the alaskan in 44mag

im just up blabbing and drinking to much coffee dreamn about things i have no money for.

well guys i cant sit here and talk about this much more. i was going to start another thread on the recoil of the 44mag vs 454/45colt vs 480 ruger chamberd in the super redhawk with the 7.5" barrel.

i think the gunshop i freguent has this pistol in 454 and 480. im thinking ill round up some tradeing goods and see what happens. if nothing else i may trade my silver leo for a used 4 POWER LEO exstended eye relief scope that they have. its got the bigger objective. ill have to see if itl fit over the super redhawk with sites mounted. i think it will.

i realy want the pair. super alaskan and long barrel red hawk for hunting, but am stunned on wich caliber to get. im not worried about caliber in the alaskan as it will be a personell defense. though i will probly till i can hit decent with it at 10yds or so if not farther.

but the 480 is what i want. if recoil is quite big difrence over the 44mag in the 7.5" barrel i may be in for more than i realy want. as far as handleing recoil goes.

also i havent seen much more than hornady factory ammo available. i have no real desire to load for the pistols.

ruger says the 480 makes 1/3 more energy than the 44mag, with less recoil than the 454 casull. but the 454 can chamber and fire 45colt rounds. so is the a better option over the 480 ruger as far as hunting and punching paper goes.

ill be back in few before i go to see if ayones got any advice for me.

it may come down to just how much i realy think i want the 480 ruger.

thanks
Evan

I`ve got a red Hawk ing .454 and it`s a handfull with the long barrel so I can imagine what the shot barrel would be like, but it sounds like it might be something that I might need for a CCW gun. Get some hot .45 loads and it should stop about anything I would need to stop. I`ve got a S&W 629 with a 4in barrel for CCW now but alittle bigger hole wouldn`t hurt.
AND Evan I think you need to start looking for a wife the way you like guns. You need to find an ugly woman with a whole lot of money, one that will do anything to keep you. You could buy more guns if you could find a woman like that.

I just read about it in one of the gun mags and it looks like a whole lotta gun. I'm looking for a smallish revolver to pack while I'm hunting and this looks like it would fit that bill just fine. Only thing that would stop me is the price. I'm definitely gonna look at it hard, though.
