Manufacturer: Sturm, Ruger & Co. Type: Revolver Model: Ruger Redhawk Caliber: .44 Magnum Barrel Length: 7.5" Optics: N/A ATF Form 4473 Required: Yes Log: 3266 S/N: 500-51898 Ref #: N/A Notes:This revolver is a Sturm, Ruger & Co. Redhawk double-action revolver chambered in .44 Magnum and manufactured in Southport, Connecticut. The Ruger Redhawk was introduced in 1979 as a large-frame, stainless steel revolver designed for sustained use with full-power magnum cartridges, featuring a one-piece frame and robust internal lockwork. Production year range: Ruger Redhawk revolvers utilize a serial number prefix system. The “500-” prefix corresponds to the earliest Redhawk production period. Serial number 500-51898 places manufacture in the initial production run, approximately 1979–1980. The revolver is fitted with a 7.5-inch barrel, resulting in an overall length of approximately 13 inches. Chambered for .44 Magnum, typical factory 240-grain loads generally produce muzzle velocities around 1,300 to 1,350 feet per second with energy levels approaching 900 to 970 foot-pounds, depending on ammunition selection. The revolver features a six-shot cylinder and operates in both double-action and single-action modes. Sighting equipment consists of an adjustable rear sight paired with a ramp front sight. No optics are present. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and durability, and the grip configuration is designed to aid recoil control with heavy loads. Condition is good, with light wear consistent with age and use. The stainless finish shows minor surface scratches. The grips exhibit small handling marks but remain solid. The bore appears clean with strong rifling, and the action cycles smoothly with tight lockup.
