I recently purchased this Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casull from the big auction site. It was manufactured in 2000, and is unfired! It's in pristine condition. Years ago I had the same gun but with a 9-1/2" barrel instead of the 7-1/2" barrel that this gun has. I'm guessing this one will be a bit more "muzzle flippy" than the 9-1/2". I know from shooting the 9-1/2", that I have to have the Hogue Tamer Monogrip if my wrist is to survive. I have already installed one with the Ruger logo on it, onto this new gun. I can't wait to fire it! Here's a couple photos:
