April 27, 2013
I love this gun. Its my hiking gun and very controlable with heavy 300 grain 44 mags loads.its reassuring to have on your hip while walking in bear country but hope I never have to use it besides on targets.....cause that's fun with this gun

What a fun gun to shoot. At first, it was somewhat intimidating but on the first pull of the trigger found the 44 magnum accurate with less recoil than expected. I will buy from Impact guns in the future.

This is the 1st ruger I have ever owned, and I think it will be the first out of many. While shooting this little beast accurately will require some practice, it's still pleasantly accurate for a first time shooter at close range. Let's face it, if you have to shoot something with a handgun, it's probably going to right on top of you anyway! Loaded with some 180gr JHP the Alaskan .44 is quite tame when you consider the barrel length. However, step it up to 240+...HANG ON! Like a previous poster said, it's loud, don't be surprised when the range goes quiet and people start looking around when you squeez one off. The gun feels very solid with a smooth stout trigger pull in double action. The stock grips dampen the shock and fit my larg hands very nicely. The only thing, IMO, that will better this little cannon, would be a hi-viz front sight. If you are considering buying this handgun, quit thinking and buy it, you will thank yourself the first time you obliterate a watermelon at close range :-)

This .44is the best handgun I have ever owned! It is a beast LOL! as soon as i get my concealed license it will go with me EVERYWHERE!! It has a great feel to it in my hand.. its beautiful!! One thing i recommend is buying a hoster that is made to fit it cause you won't be happy with one that isnt... just saying... i had to order mine off line cause no one had one.. I also have been buying up ammo every week 1 box of 50 at 28$ not bad!! i now have 500 rounds and still buying!! I would recommend this GUN to anyone!! so just buy it!! what are you waiting for!!! thanks RUGER!!

This was indeed my first firearm, and funny enough i use it for what its intended where it was intended. my redhawk has been with me through hell and back all over Alaska's Kenai peninsula and i will say its just somthing i dont leave behind. I have infact had it drawn on a coastal brownie before...... still didnt feel very safe ;-). with 180gr jhp, i can hit a 1.5x1.5 plate of steel at 30feet firing at about 1rd/sec. kicking into single action i can murder a pop can at 50 feet every time, not bad for such a short sight radius. i do find this particular model a bit of a ruse because why buy the 44 when you could have the 454? becasue ammo is easier to find, and a 320gr hardcast will still knock the block off just about anything.
imaculate firearm, tough as nails, will be by my side for years to come.
buy it

Super Redhawk,

This is the LOUDEST handgun I own. I cannot be happier. It's very hard to be accurate at less than 25' because of the very short barrell, but with the sound - you don't have to be. The sound alone will scare the hell out of any predator.
