Sturm, Ruger & Co. has acknowledged the resurgence of the 10 mm Auto cartridge in a variety of platforms and now accommodates in a large-frame double-action revolver synonymous with “thumper” cartridges such as .44 Mag.—the Super Redhawk (SRH). This newest SRH iteration provides a fluted cylinder chambered for 10 mm Auto and designed to accomodate full-moon clips. Ruger fitted the SRH frame with a 6.5” stainless steel barrel and fully adjustable sights. The SRH is also machined with Ruger’s optic mounting system.
