Special Features
- The triple-locking cylinder locks into the frame at the front, rear, and bottom simultaneously, providing positive alignment and consistent operation under the pressure of high-power loads.
- The extended frame design adds extra metal in the top strap, sidewalls, and barrel mounting areas specifically engineered to handle the extreme chamber pressures generated by 454 Casull ammunition.
- Cold hammer-forged barrel construction produces ultra-precise rifling geometry that supports long service life and straightforward cleaning after hard field use.
- The Hogue Finger Groove Tamer Monogrip features an internal cushion positioned under the web of the hand to absorb the impact of full-power loads during extended shooting sessions.
- The peg-style grip frame accepts a wide range of aftermarket and custom grip options, letting you tailor the fit to your hand size and carry preferences.
- Dual chambering allows this 454 Casull revolver to fire factory 45 Colt cartridges, giving you flexibility when selecting ammunition for different applications.
- The patented transfer bar safety blocks the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed, preventing discharge even if the revolver is dropped or struck.
Practical Benefits
- The 2.50-inch barrel keeps overall length at just 7.62 inches, making this revolver easy to carry in a chest holster or hip rig during backcountry hunts where a full-size handgun would be impractical.
- The all-satin stainless construction resists moisture, mud, and harsh field conditions without special care, making it a natural fit for hunters who spend long days in wet or demanding environments.
- The adjustable rear sight paired with the replaceable ramp front sight lets you dial in point of impact for different load weights, which matters when switching between 454 Casull hunting loads and lighter 45 Colt cartridges.
- The large-frame build and 44-ounce weight absorb the energy of full-power 454 Casull loads, keeping the platform manageable during practice sessions and afield.
- Whether you carry it as a backup on a big game hunt, a trail companion in bear country, or a primary field revolver for large and dangerous game, your Super Redhawk Alaskan is ready to perform when conditions are at their worst.
The Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan (5301) in 454 Casull is a proven platform and a dependable choice for the serious hunter or backcountry shooter who demands maximum power in a compact, field-ready revolver.
