Also known as: Super Redhawk 10mm Auto, Ruger 5524
Overview
The Ruger Super Redhawk 10mm is a large-frame, double-action/single-action revolver chambered in 10mm Auto. Introduced in late 2017, it uses full-moon clips to headspace and extract the rimless 10mm (and interchangeable .40 S&W) cartridges from its six-round cylinder. Built entirely of satin stainless steel with a 6.5-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel, an extended grip frame that dampens recoil, Ruger's triple-locking cylinder, and integral scope mounts, it is marketed as a rugged handgun-hunting and backcountry sidearm.

Background
The 10mm Super Redhawk answered a long-standing demand from handgun hunters who wanted a durable revolver able to shoot the powerful, flat-shooting 10mm Auto without giving up the option of firing cheaper .40 S&W practice loads through the same moon-clip cylinder.
