Ruger's revered Super Redhawk needs little introduction. A beefy DA/SA revolver, with a stainless-steel frame and a triple locking cylinder, it has been a go-to for hunters seeking field-ready dependability since the gun's introduction. Now, however, this revolver can be had with eight rounds of blisteringly quick .22 Hornet on tap. Leaving the 9.5-inch barrel at some 1900 fps assuming a 40-grain projectile, the Super Redhawk is any varmint hunter's dream handgun. 

Draper shooting Super Redhawk

Despite this somewhat undersized (though not underpowered) cartridge, this Super Redhawk still maintains the features that fans of the revolver have comes to know and love. A Hogue Tamer Monogrip soaks up what recoil there is, utilizing an internal recoil cushion positioned under the web of the hand to help reduce the impact of powerful loads. Despite this unique design, the peg-style grip frame can accommodate aftermarket custom grips. For sighting, a HiViz Green front sight pairs with an adjustable rear for additional precision. The gun weighs in at a hefty, recoil-absorbing 66 ounces, with a 15-inch overall length. The cold hammer-forged barrel sports 1:9-inch, righthand twist, five groove rifling that is easy to clean, while a transfer bar mechanism provides peace of mind against accidental discharge.

Finally, for the serious small-game getter, patented integral mounts are machined directly onto the solid-steel barrel rib, providing a stable mounting surface for the scope rings that come with the gun. This makes it simple to securely add a magnified optic for those longer shots. Whether putting a dent in the local prairie dog population, or running predator control on coyotes and foxes, this .22 Hornet can get the job done easily out past 50 yards.
