Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan .44 Magnum Revolver

The Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan is the definitive compact heavy-revolver platform for outdoor professionals, guides, and hunters operating in terrain where large dangerous game is an active concern. The "Alaskan" designation is earned — this is a revolver configured specifically for backup protection and close-quarters field defence, where a compact, powerful sidearm carried on the hip must be instantly ready.At just 2.5 inches, the Alaskan's barrel is the shortest in the Super Redhawk family. This extreme compactness makes the revolver comfortable to carry all day in a hip holster through dense terrain and demanding field conditions, while the .44 Magnum chambering (also accepting .44 Special) ensures decisive stopping capability when needed. The full-size Super Redhawk frame — with its distinctive outer frame extension surrounding the barrel — provides the structural mass to absorb and dampen the significant recoil generated by full-power .44 Magnum loads in such a short package.The Hogue Tamer Monogrip is the critical component that makes the Alaskan functional in extended practice: the proprietary recoil-absorbing rubber compound in the grip dramatically reduces felt recoil impulse, distributing the force across the entire palm rather than concentrating it at pressure points. Satin stainless finish throughout resists corrosion and eliminates reflective glare in field conditions. Model 5303. Made in Prescott, Arizona, USA.
