Of interest to all of us who own and love big bore handguns should be Ruger's new Super Redhawk "Alaskan" with 2" barrel in 454 Casull and 480 Ruger. I own 3 Super Redhawks, 44 Mag, 454 Casull, and 480 Ruger, all with 7.5 inch barrel. Super tough guns. This past spring I stalked and took a black bear at 38 paces with my 454 Casull loaded with 260 grain Winchester Partitions. A devastating instant kill (heart/lung). Here in SE AK it's wise to carry the largest calibers one can handle with proficiency due to our dense population of coastal brownies. Thankfully we still have the freedom to arm and protect ourselves with the necessary metal here in the US, a right everyone of us here cherishes deeply.
