The Ruger Redhawk is a large frame, double action/single action revolver designed and manufactured by Ruger. Introduced in 1979, the Redhawk was engineered from the outset to handle sustained use with heavy magnum loads, utilizing a one piece frame construction with an extended frame topstrap that provides additional strength and rigidity. The Redhawk uses Ruger's triple locking cylinder system, which locks the cylinder at the front, rear, and bottom for consistent alignment and durability. The action uses a coil spring mechanism throughout rather than flat springs, contributing to long term reliability. The .45 Colt chambering in the Redhawk provides a platform capable of handling both standard .45 Colt loads and the heavier handloads that the Redhawk's robust construction supports, making it a popular choice among handgun hunters and field carry enthusiasts.

This example is a Model 05027 manufactured in 2009, configured with a 4 inch barrel and a satin stainless steel finish throughout. The revolver is fitted with Ruger branded rubber grips with a cobblestone texture overmold, a ramp front sight with a red insert, and a fully adjustable rear sight. No original box or accessories included.
