Since 1979, Sturm, Ruger & Co. has offered a DA/SA (double-action/single-action) large-frame revolver known as the Redhawk. It’s got a pretty dedicated following, we’d say. American Rifleman's Brian Sheetz talks more about this multi-cartridge Redhawk variant from Ruger in this week's NRA Gun of the Week video.
