The Redhawk is Ruger's big-bore double-action revolver, built on an oversized frame with the company's investment-cast stainless construction — the sort of gun that is deliberately overbuilt for the cartridge it fires. Chambering it in .357 Magnum, as here, means the gun is essentially unbreakable with any factory load.

The other advantage of that big frame in .357 is capacity: this configuration holds eight rounds rather than the usual six, and it loads from moon clips as well as loose. With a 2.75-inch barrel, a shrouded ejector rod, adjustable sights and wood grips, it makes a serious, heavy, extremely controllable defensive and trail revolver.
