The Ruger Redhawk revolver, introduced in 1979, was, in the words of Ruger promotional materials, "an entirely new firearm, representing the most significant advance in the development of heavy-frame double action revolvers in many decades." Taking many of its cues from the successful Security-Six, the Redhawk was built to withstand the pressures generated by full-power .44 Magnum loads, and has certainly gained a passionate following from handloaders, who realized it’s beefed-up, one-piece frame can handle the hottest loads they’d be willing to make. Handgun hunters, too, flocked to the Redhawk, with its ability to hold six game-stopping .44 Magnum rounds, capable of dropping even large North American game. Learn more about it in the video embedded above, hosted by Managing Editor Jon Draper. MSRP: $1,079; ruger.com.

Alligator Hunting Opportunities Are Expanding

This year, both Florida and Louisiana are expanding or introducing new opportunities for alligator hunts. For decades, Florida has estimated that there are over one million in the state—it is, of course, hard to count alligators. Louisiana now says its alligator population exceeds three million. The two states have managed their alligator populations very differently over the last half century, but now both are expanding hunting opportunities to help manage alligator populations.
