The Redhawk with 7.5-inch barrel is the maximum-velocity hunting configuration, squeezing the most performance from .44 Magnum ammunition. The longer barrel provides a longer sighting radius for precision at extended handgun hunting ranges. At approximately 56 oz unloaded this is a substantial firearm intended for holster carry rather than portability. Type: Revolver Action: Double-Action Caliber: .44 Remington Magnum Capacity: 6 Year introduced: 1979, USA Weight: 56 oz Overall length: 13" Status: Active Intended use: hunting, target, sporting
