New Ruger 10mm

[dennishoddy]

I have wanted the Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan in .454 Casull for years, no practical purpose for it, but it looks COOL!!

Only issue with that gun is the barrel length. One would have to work really hard to find a quick burning powder that wouldn't exceed pressure limits.
I looked at that gun really hard before scheduling a trip to Alaska. Unfortunately Mom took a turn for the worse in her cancer bout and we had to cancel.
I have the 7 1/2" Super Redhawk and wanted to change the barrel length to 5" or so by buying a new barrel and putting it on the frame. Found it can be problematic on occasion. Stainless on stainless is basically a NO-NO, as it tends to gald and make the gun into a paper weight. I may still try it but with a puckered butt.

I can't begin to describe how badly I wished Ruger would make a Redhawk with the GP100/Super Redhawk style grip frame.

I've never seen the appeal of the 10mm. Seems like a B.S. cartridge to me.

10mm magnum? someone show me the appeal of this compared to 41mag

Hard to make an autoloader for rimmed cartridges (though not impossible--see, e.g., Coonan).

It makes more sense in its proper historical context, namely the Platt/Mattix Miami FBI shootout.

I meant the “this” in that statement to refer to that revolver in post#1 getting reamed to 10mm mag, which was why I compared it to a 41mag

I feel the same way about the 40 s&w

Lol that’s funny, I want to the exact opposite. A gp100 or sp101 with closer to a woode plow style grip. I love my sp101 but freaking hate the grip

I’m an equal opportunity caliber lover. Been contemplating the 10mm for years now. But in a higher capacity offering like a Colt Delta Elite, Glock 40 or maybe even the new Kimber Jagare. I see 10mm revolvers for old guys who can’t bend over at the waist to pick up the golden colored nuggets of reloading detritus.

It doesn’t look as nice, I’ll give you that. However, I’ve never shot a revolver that tames recoil like the wraparound post type grip the SP/GP/Super Redhawk does.
