The Ruger Redhawk 5060 delivers exceptional stopping power and reliability in a robust double-action revolver platform. Built for demanding applications where performance cannot be compromised, this .357 Magnum revolver features an extended 5.5-inch barrel that maximizes velocity and accuracy potential.
What Makes This Different
The triple-locking cylinder system sets the Redhawk apart from standard revolvers by locking at the crane, ejector rod, and rear of the cylinder simultaneously. This creates exceptional strength under magnum pressures while maintaining precise cylinder-to-barrel alignment. The satin stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than blued alternatives and requires minimal maintenance in harsh conditions.
Key Features
- 8-round cylinder capacity provides two additional rounds over standard 6-shot revolvers
- 5.5-inch barrel length optimizes .357 Magnum ballistic performance
- Triple-locking cylinder system ensures maximum strength and accuracy
