About the Ruger Redhawk
The Ruger Redhawk is a large-frame, double-action revolver manufactured by Sturm, Ruger & Co. and designed for hunting, handgun silhouette competition, and serious field use. It is built around a robust triple-locking cylinder and a solid steel frame intended to handle sustained use of full-power magnum ammunition.
How the California versions differ
- Caliber: Roster versions are chambered in .44 Magnum, .45 Colt, .45 ACP, or .357 Magnum, giving buyers a meaningful choice depending on intended use and ammunition preference.
- Barrel length: Options range from a compact 2.72"–2.75" up to 7.5", with mid-length 4.1"–4.2" and 5.5" options in between, affecting balance, velocity, and portability.
- Finish: Most listed models carry a satin stainless finish; the KRH-444 and KRH-45-4 are explicitly noted as Satin Stainless in the roster.
- Model series: The numbered 05xxx and 5028 models represent a newer product generation, while the KRH-prefix models are an earlier series; both share the same fundamental Redhawk platform.
- MSRP variation: Prices across listed roster models range from $569 to $1,449, reflecting differences in configuration and model generation.
Who it suits
The Redhawk is best suited to hunters, backcountry carriers, and handgun hunters who need a durable, high-powered revolver capable of handling heavy magnum loads in the field.
