Ruger Redhawk 5050 Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

The Ruger Redhawk is a DA/SA, large-frame revolver that was first introduced in 1979 by Sturm, Ruger & Company. Made from high-grade steel, it is available in a stainless steel finish. The Redhawk is reinforced to handle extra stress, making it very popular for use by handloaders as it is able to handle both .45 Colt and .44 Magnum loads. In addition, the cylinder itself is longer than most competitors', allowing ammunition to be loaded to a longer overall length. This allows for either increased powder capacity, heavier (and therefore longer) bullets without compromising the powder load, or a combination of both. Custom ammunition manufacturers even have loads made specifically for Ruger revolvers that cannot fit in shorter chambers or revolvers of weaker construction (such as the Smith & Wesson Model 29). This makes the Redhawk popular as a bear defense gun among hunters and trappers.

while it would most likely work I would be worried about the chamber pressure "is a sharp increase in cartridge maximum pressure over the .45 ACP and .45 Super. Maximum Average Pressure is: 45 ACP (21,000 PSI), .45 ACP +P (23,000 PSI), .45 Super (28,000 P

John, yes Sir. It will work provided you load it into the gun via moonclips. You can shoot hotter 45 Colt +P ammo, heavier bullet and faster.

Mario, Yes, the Ruger LC9S has a "Manual Safety" Sir.

Unknown 6 years ago

Mario - yes, the LC9S does have a thumb safety on the left rear side of the slide. If you can find the LC9S Pro model, it does not have a thumb safety. Since Ruger discontinued this model, in favor of the EC9, the LC9's are in short supply pretty much eve

454 casull

Unknown 6 years ago

Mark, no Sir. The 45ACP Cylinder is too short to even chamber the longer 454 Casull round.

Unknown 6 years ago

No it can’t. If it was marked 454 then it would also be able to fire 45 LC but if it’s not marked 454 it will not fire 454
