The Ruger Redhawk 5059 delivers exceptional stopping power in a Massachusetts-compliant configuration that meets strict state requirements without compromising performance. This 357 Magnum revolver combines Ruger's proven triple-locking cylinder system with transfer bar safety technology for reliable operation in critical situations.
What Makes This Different
The triple-locking cylinder system sets this Redhawk apart from standard double-action revolvers by securing the cylinder at the front, rear, and bottom for maximum strength under magnum pressures. The 8-round capacity exceeds most 357 Magnum revolvers, while the satin stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than blued finishes. The 4.20-inch barrel provides an optimal balance between accuracy and portability for both field and home defense applications.

The cold hammer-forged barrel delivers consistent accuracy with both 357 Magnum and 38 Special ammunition, making this revolver versatile for hunting medium game, home protection, or target shooting.
