The Ruger Redhawk has continued to be an opportunity for adventure, exploration and entertainment. I have shot the equivalent of the annual U.S. Defense budget in ammo, I’ve worn out two pairs of shooting gloves and I have not been able to break it… try as I may. The Redhawk […]

It is always beneficial to have access to firearms before they are released, if an article is to appear when they are released. Hardware can be tried tested and tortured at a leisurely pace, without much chance of a flaw going unnoticed. With time for assessment, product coverage isn’t reduced […]
