Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan Review | .44 Magnum Revolver for Outdoors & Bear Country

Hey, it’s Matt with Midwest Guns and Gear! Today, we’re taking a closer look at the Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in .44 Magnum — one of Ruger’s most unique revolvers, designed for bear defense and outdoor carry. In this video, I’ll cover: A quick history of the Ruger Alaskan and its purpose Differences between the .44 Magnum, .454 Casull, and .480 Ruger versions Why I carry this revolver in the woods and on the farm The pros and cons of holsters for the Alaskan (hip vs chest rigs) A range test with the .44 Magnum The Ruger Alaskan may be short-barreled, but it’s built like a tank. With its heavy frame, Hogue grips, and Ruger reliability, it manages recoil extremely well. In fact, this .44 Magnum shoots smoother than many revolvers I’ve owned — making it a solid choice for outdoorsmen, hikers, and anyone preparing for big animal encounters. 👉 If you enjoy firearm reviews, lever actions, revolvers, and range tests, don’t forget to like 👍, comment 💬, and subscribe 🔔 to Midwest Guns and Gear for more gun content and farm life projects. #RugerAlaskan #44Magnum #RevolverReview #BearDefense #RugerSuperRedhawk
