Ruger Redhawk Disassembly and Reassembly





The Ruger Redhawk is a pistol that is near and dear to me. I have been shooting one for years, and the massive construction really soaks up the recoil when you shoot full power loads, making them tolerable for someone who doesn't shoot hot loads regularly. I usually shoot moderate loads, a bit hotter than .44 Special, but below the listed magnum loads, and pistol novices would have no trouble shooting them in the big Redhawk. Redhawks are made for serious handgun hunters, but mine mostly does plinking duty, plus taking care of varmints around the farm. I often say that it shoots like a rifle, and it has never failed to connect when I shoot at a possum, skunk, or groundhog.
