Ruger 454 Alaskan Review - The Beast With a Dark Secret
The Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in .454 Casull is a powerful revolver primarily for bear defense, also capable of firing .45 Long Colt. While offering immense power in a medium frame with a 6-shot capacity, its trigger is considered mediocre for its price point. A significant drawback is 'crimp jump,' where recoil can dislodge bullets in unfired chambers, potentially locking the cylinder, a malfunction that can be cleared by manipulating the hammer and cylinder.
