Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan 454 Casull Revolver

This mega revolver is the most fun gun to shoot at the range. It demands attention. It is also a good hunting companion. Its not too big to carry in a belt side holster. Make sure to use only good name brand ammo that has been double crimped. I had an episode at the range one day, after shooting several rounds the cylinder locked up tight. The remaining unfired bullets had jumped out of their cases. In order to open the cylinder I had to use a screwdriver and pry against the frame to push the bullets back into the cases. This kind of wore on ones nerves, as it also did to my friends and other onlookers, whom all took a few steps back . Something about reloading your bullets while still in the gun, that didn't sit well with some of them. I now only use Hornady 454Casull 300 grain ammo.

This ain't no tack driver, it's a sledge hammer. Very hard hitting, perfect for backup in bear country or while hog hunting. This gun is awesome. Make sure to use premium ammo because the recoil can jar loose the bullets from their cases and cause the gun to jam. Even if you don't go hunting with this gun its great at the range, it gets lots of attention, some you won't like. Wear heavy muff type protection, ear plugs won't do the job. Be nice and warn others around you before firing.
