GENERAL INFORMATION
AND MECHANICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The RUGER
®
SUPER REDHAWK revolver is a double-action firearm
which is specifically designed for hunting and target shooting with heavy
Magnum cartridges and embodies many features found in the famous RUGER
®
REDHAWK
®
and RUGER
®
GP100
®
revolvers. It is the second of an
entirely new generation of Ruger double-action revolvers. The unique frame
extension permits the use of full wrap-around style grips of any desired
configuration. This feature reduces overall weight and contributes to a desirable
muzzle of heaviness. The crane and cylinder assembly of the Super Redhawk
revolver locks directly into the frame, both at the rear of the cylinder and at the
front of the crane. The ejector rod serves only as an ejector – it does not rotate
with the cylinder. All of this mechanism is readily removable without tools and
dismantles, along with the cylinder/crane group, into a small number of
subassemblies for inspection and cleaning (See Figure 2, pg. 5).
