The Super Redhawk Alaskan in .454 Casull applies the compact Alaskan concept to the most powerful standard factory cartridge. The 2.5-inch barrel produces extraordinary muzzle blast and recoil — but for bear defense, the shot is at contact distance and the shooter will not notice it. The .454 Casull Alaskan is considered by many guides to be the minimum adequate tool for brown bear defense.
