Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan Toklat
Sturm, Ruger & Co. · Pistol · In Production · 2008
Also known as: Super Redhawk Toklat, Alaskan Toklat, Redhawk Toklat
Overview
The Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan Toklat is a heavy-frame double-action revolver chambered in the high-pressure .454 Casull cartridge. A distributor-exclusive variant of the Super Redhawk line, it pairs a six-round stainless-steel cylinder with a 5-inch barrel and a cushioned Hogue Tamer Monogrip, making it a powerful backcountry sidearm intended primarily as defense against large dangerous game. Like all Super Redhawks it uses Ruger's triple-locking cylinder and extended frame to handle the cartridge's punishing recoil and pressure. It will also safely fire the lower-pressure .45 Colt cartridge.

Notes
Distributor-exclusive model named after the Toklat River in Denali, central Alaska. Sits between the 2.5-inch Super Redhawk Alaskan and the 7.5-inch standard Super Redhawk. Overall length and empty weight are approximate, derived from the 5-inch stainless Super Redhawk platform.
Background
The Toklat takes its name from the Toklat River, a glacial tributary of the Kantishna in Denali National Park, Alaska: grizzly country that the revolver's .454 Casull chambering is built to answer.
