For big game hunting, choose the Ruger Redhawk revolver. These big bore revolvers feature a rugged stainless steel construction with no side plates, and are designed specifically to handle powerful magnum loads through extra metal in top strap, sidewalls and barrel mounting areas. The triple-locking cylinder is locked into the frame at the front, rear and bottom for more positive alignment and dependable operation shot after shot.
This is an excellent revolver, extremely well made and solid. Out of the box, I shot 100 rounds of factory loads and 100 rounds of my own reloads. Every round went off with one trigger pull. Speaking of trigger pull, it is smooth and lighter than expected. Gun is built like a tank and will likely outlive me. Gun has adjustable rear sight elevation. I made no adjustments to mine since the sights were perfect out of the box. The front sight has a nice red marking so it is easy and quick to get the sights aligned. I wanted a modern revolver that could shoot a classic caliber like 45 Colt and this gun fulfilled that desire better than expected. I highly recommend the Ruger Redhawk.
