Frequently Asked Questions
Ruger 454 Casull Revolver for sale
How much is a Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casull?
Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull typically costs around $1,163, with listings reaching up to $1,366.99. Sold prices range from $1,200 to $1,400 depending on barrel length and finish.
Does Ruger make a 454 Casull?
Yes. Ruger makes the Super Redhawk Alaskan chambered in .454 Casull. It is a double-action revolver with a 2.5-inch stainless steel barrel, designed for hunting and bear country protection. It also accepts .45 Colt cartridges.
Does 454 Casull kick?
Yes, .454 Casull kicks hard. It is the third most powerful handgun cartridge, behind the S&W 500 Magnum and S&W 460 Magnum. Heavier revolvers handle it better. Practice and a firm grip help. The same guns typically chamber .45 Colt, which is far milder.
What barrel length is best for 454 Casull?
Longer barrels deliver higher velocity. Most hunters prefer 6 to 7.5 inches, balancing power and handling. Shorter barrels sacrifice significant velocity—a 2 or 3 inch barrel wastes the cartridge's potential. The Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan's 2.5-inch barrel trades velocity for packability in bear country.
Is the Ruger Alaskan a good gun?
Good is subjective, but the Alaskan excels at its intended purpose: bear country protection and hunting. Ruger built it with stainless durability and a 44-ounce weight (50 oz fully loaded). The .454 Casull chambering delivers serious stopping power. Recoil is heavy. Typically priced around $1,163.
