RUGER REDHAWK 44 REM MAG 4.2″ – STAINLESS RUBBER ADJUSTABLE

Ruger's Redhawk in .44 Remington Magnum is a full-size double-action revolver built for shooters who want serious magnum capability in a stainless, purpose-made platform. Hunters, handgun hunters specifically, and heavy-use range shooters make up most of the buyers. TacticCAL carries it as a DOJ Roster listed handgun.

What Owning a .44 Magnum Redhawk Actually Demands of You

At 47 oz unloaded, the Redhawk earns its reputation as a handful — in both senses. That weight is doing real work: it tames .44 Remington Magnum recoil into something shootable across a full range session rather than punishing after cylinder two. The 4.20" barrel keeps the package manageable without giving up too much velocity, and the Hogue Monogrip absorbs what the frame doesn't. The adjustable rear sight with white outline and replaceable colored front blade insert let you dial in point of impact for your preferred load — useful when the difference between 240-grain and 300-grain factory loads shifts your groups noticeably. Transfer bar safety, satin stainless finish, 6-round capacity. Roster listed, ready to DROS at TacticCAL. Looking at CA compliant firearms? Here's what we carry.

Frequently asked questions

Is the 4.2" Redhawk a practical choice for handgun hunting in California?

It's a common reason buyers choose this configuration. The .44 Remington Magnum caliber and 4.20" barrel make it a viable hunting sidearm or primary handgun for deer-sized game. Check current California DFW regulations for handgun hunting seasons and legal zones before heading out.

What should I do during the 10-day wait after purchasing this at TacticCAL?

Source .44 Remington Magnum ammunition — Federal and Speer both make quality loads worth having on hand. Plan a holster: Galco and Safariland make options for the Redhawk. If you'll transport in a vehicle, California law requires a locked container, so source one now. Schedule your first range session.

How does the adjustable rear sight work on the Redhawk, and can I swap the front insert?

The rear sight adjusts for windage and elevation via a white-outline notch. The front is a ramp-style blade with a replaceable colored insert — Ruger includes alternates so you can choose the contrast that works best for your eyes and lighting conditions at the range.
