Just saw this on the Ruger website
http://ruger.com/products/superRedhawkStandard/specSheets/5524.html
I wish it was based on the regular Redhawk, rather than the Super
YEAH!!!!!!!
WOO HOO!!!!!!!
Cleaning out room in my safe right now!!!!
If only they made it for 10mm auto magnum so we could shoot bot cartridges. That would be amazing!
Good timing. Been on a revolver kick as of late. Wish it were an SP101 but will buy one to support the cause.
I would have preferred a Redhawk as well. Or a GP100 even better. I suppose though that the engineers determined the SRH was the better platform as the "large frame" version of the GP100 line.
That Ruger just went to first on my "to get" list.
Thanks for posting!!
Well you won't have to chase those pesky sub-orbital 10mm brass. ;D
I'd have rather seen it in a GP-100 but that wouldn't fit Ruger's doctrine of building guns 120% stronger than they need to be.
I'm interested.
Cylinder doesn't appear to be long enough to bore out to 10mm Magnum, which is a damn shame in such a heavy pistol...
i have 500 10mm magnum brass and a chamber reamer when i saw this i hoped it would support a conversion
A typical redhawk/super redhawk cylinder is 1.750" in length. I can find no specs to indicate they are making shorter cylinders, and the photos appear to have the same length forcing cone as the other SRH guns.
I would think they are just boring standard SRH cylinders to .400 and then reaming them to 10mm auto. If that is the case that is great for two reasons. First, you can make a 10mm Magnum with a reamer. Second, you can swap the cylinder into a redhawk along with a custom barrel to have a redhawk sized 10mm, or 10mm magnum.
Very much a happy dance. And they are up on Gunbroker for anyone who has $850 they don't want in their pocket.
I don't care for the super redhawk design/looks---unless it's the Alaskan, but then you loose all your MV from that tiny barrel
glad to see another 10mm though, heard the 10mm is gaining popularity in alaska, but in semi auto, not revolver that I have heard of
Get ready because Ruger is releasing 40 firearms in 2018.
I think they sure could have found a better platform than the Super Redhawk. At 54 ounces, why 10mm?
I remember when Ruger brought out the 454 in the Super Redhawk and I wanted one in the worst way. I could not find one so I bought a Raging Bull. Finally, a Ruger became available so I bought it anyway. I shot it one time and realized the Raging Bull was a much better firearm and sold the Ruger to a friend.
Why.... why Ruger? The win was a GP100! This is overkill.
Two words: Scope Mounts.
The SRH has integral scope mounts in the frame. Just add rings for about $30 and you are GTG with a scope.
This is kinda an open field for Ruger to market. The 10mm has hunting potential, but in many states you can't hunt most game with a semi-auto. Or, more specically, they have capacity restrictions and barrel length minimums that make it hard.
The SRH is a well accepted hunting revolver. I would love to see a GP100 sized gun as well, but this actually does make sense.

Skip the $30, scope rings are included.
I thought they were, but couldn't find them mentioned in my 3 second skim of the page.
I mused about Ruger coming-out with a 10mm revolver a couple years ago. I thought for sure, it would be the basic Redhawk, or GP-100. Anything that helps mainstream the 10mm is all right with me though. The more 10mm's the better. I'd give Ruger a chance, to see what else they come-out with in the near-future.
I gotta agree. GP100 and I would buy. SRH, not so much.
They did just announce a SP101 in 9mm, so lets hope they have some more fun in the pipeline!
Clement's website says that GP-100 conversions aren't for steady use with max loads. Ruger would probably have to re-engineer it into a GP-102 or 3.
I'd buy a Toklat sized SRH if they offered it but a 6.5" SRH is a honking big gun to only have a 1 CM bore.
They started shipping and Davidsons had 12 of them as of yesterday.
With Rugers track record of announcing and taking months to ship I spent my allowance ona gen 2 Kriss Vector Carbine. :o
I would rather a GP100 or Redhawk, I would even get a SP101 in 10mm. but,
I can't wait to see the "Ruger Only" 10mm reload information!!

I overload so much for my 10mm AR, this thing should be a natural!
3.3 Bloody pounds. They must be crazy!
I'd like to see a Bisley hunter Super Blackhawk in 10mm. Headspace on the case mouth, no need for moon clips. Unfluted cylinder. 7.5" barrel.

My LGS got one in stock today and gave me a call to come have a look. I'd forgotten just how big the SRH is and honestly couldn't bring myself to buy it. The owner, also a 10mm fan, said he was going to pass on it as well unless one comes in used.
I'd love to see a GP-100 or even a Super Blackhawk (Bisley please) convertible come out next.
I love the 10mm auto and just not interstested in a 10mm revolver.
I am very tempted by this. Especially if I can send off the cylinder to be reamed to 10mm magnum.
Well, I actually bought one. I already had a SRH 44 Mag 7 1/2" with a 2X scope. I'm a sucker for oddball guns and a 10mm SRH definitely qualifies! Mine has .401" throats and mirror-like chambers, nicely cut forcing cone and rifling so lead bullets worked great without leading. Took it to the indoor range today with a variety of ammo and the 2X scope from the SRH 44. A few loads with 200gr XTP's over a stiff charge of #9 easily shot groups between 5/8" to 1 1/4" at 25 yds. from a rest. I'm 65 so vision and steadiness aren't the best but this 10mm SRH is easily my most accurate revolver. Also shot some 165gr lead swc over 3.8gr Bullseye that grouped 1 1/2" at 25 yds.. Can't wait to take it to New Mexico next month, there's a great range with 50-400 yards and bring your own steel or paper targets.
Robert, how long is the cylinder?

Ruger Blackhawk 6.5 in. barrel 10mm convertible

Bought one from Sportsman's Supply in Butler, PA, $716 shipped through GB. Should be here Monday and will have it to the range by middle of the week. Range Report to follow.
Picking up the SRH tomorrow. While daydreaming about it I was thinking (dreaming?) about an Alaskan version, barrel shortened to the frame. I had one in 44 and sold it in a fit of stupidity but seriously, wouldn't a 10mm Alaskan be fun?
Robert, that's some nice performance. Which range in New Mexico are you referring to, if I may ask?
This is awesome

It's the Ruidoso Gun Club range off hwy 70 near Ruidoso Downs.
Took the SRH to the range this past Thursday and ran 50 rounds of Freedom Munitions 180 grain hollow point. Took about 5 rounds to get on paper at 50 yards with the Burris red dot and the another 10 rounds to find the bullseye. After that if I did my part I could get 3" groups but I think the SRH will do better than that. I was shooting from a rest under the barrel and supporting the grips with both hands. I thought it amazing I could watch my heart beat on the dot so my next outing will have the grips on a bag.
My problem is the red dot covered about 8" of the target so it's just best guess at that point but I believe that the setup is good for minute of hog right now at 50 yards. Now it's time for a review of the Burris instructions regarding dot size.
In my case I'm a believer that practice makes perfect so I'll keep playing with this combo.
I couldn't stand it any more. Just won a GB auction for one.

You dawg!!! ;D
Hey, I was actually thinking I would get a Ruger GP100, and have it bored out for 10mm, since you can't hardly find the old Ruger Buckeye 10mm/ 38-40 convertibles. Then Ruger started putting to 10mm Super Redhawks out.

Hmmm, I bought mine for about the same on GB, but it came out of Indiana. It arrived yesterday to my FFL guy, I pick it up tonight.
Your going to love it, 100% chamber support. Now you can load it up until the primers pop out ;D

So true! I run all my 10mm and 40S&W brass through a carbide GRX die before reloading it. Even full power loads fired from my SRH 10mm and my Blackhawk 10mm/40S&W convertible pass through this die with next to no resistance. The same brass and loads fired from my autos, a Ruger SR 1911 10mm and a Sig P220 take a bit more force.
I already made me some rather stiff 10mm loads for my SRH. I am going to make a box of pretty stiff .40 cal loads to see if the POI shifts a bit or a lot from the 10mm loads.
Still haven't taken it to the range yet. Too many things happening all at once. My mom lost a hearing aid, First I tore her car apart looking for it, now I tore her house apart looking for it. Not to be found. Today I have to take her to the hearing aid place to see about replacing it. Gonna cost her about three grand. Good thing I got mine free through the VA. Anyways still have to make a range trip. Probably tomorrow, the day after.
They aren't cheap, but looks like an awesome gun
Yeah, I was divided between this one and the Ruger Super Redhawk, I went with the SR because it was designed for .44 mag pressures and I won't be afraid to load up my 10mm Reloads. The GP was designed for .357 mag pressures, and should be OK, but I like to error on the side of caution.
357 = 35,000 PSI
44 = 36,000 PSI
10mm = 37,500 PSI.
Not a bunch of difference here.
The difference is really in the amount of steel. The GP100 has a 1.55" diameter cylinder, while the Redhawk/Super Redhawk is 1.8". An extra .250" makes a big difference.

If anyone is interested in 10mm Mag.
https://www.gunbroker.com/item/771545313
Wow, I like it!
Interesting to see that because I've recently been thinking about getting the 6.5" SRH 10mm (although Lipseys is offering a 7.5" version) and getting it reamed out to 10mm Mag.
Very first 6 shots from my new Ruger 10mm Super Redhawk. The flyer was my fault. Think I got me a keeper.

Good shooting!
I initially thought the SRH platform was a bit much for 10mm and had thought a GP100 would be better, but I'm now leaning towards getting a SRH 10mm and getting it reamed to 10mm Mag. The SRH is very strong and with some resized .41 Mag bullets, the 10mm Mag could prove to be quite an interesting project.
Well, that and the barrel of the SR is a bit longer to get you a little more velocity.
