The Super Redhawk Alaskan is an ultra-compact version of the Super Redhawk built for Alaskan guides and hikers who need maximum firepower in a minimum-size package for bear defense. The 2.5-inch barrel on the full Super Redhawk frame is an unusual combination that produces an extraordinarily loud, blasting firearm optimized for contact-distance encounters with brown bear. Not pleasant to shoot, but potentially life-saving. Type: Revolver Action: Double-Action Caliber: .44 Remington Magnum Capacity: 6 Year introduced: 2005, USA Weight: 44 oz Overall length: 7.5" Status: Active Intended use: bear_defense, outdoor, alaska
