Introduced in 2005 the Ruger Super Redhawk: Alaskan is a short-barrel big-bore revolver. The firearm is distinguished by its 2.5 in (64 mm) barrel brushed stainless finish and oversize Hogue Tamer grip designed to help reduce recoil. The Alaskan is offered in .454 Casull/.45 Colt .480 Ruger and most recently .44 Magnum/.44 Special. The 480 Ruger version was originally a 6-shot revolver like the .454 but was discontinued in 2007. It was reintroduced in 2008 with a 5-shot cylinder.
