Ruger 480 Alaskan - Super Redhawk Alaskan Announced: Ruger released the Super Redhawk Alaskan in the mid-2000s as a compatible alternative to the long-standing Super Redhawk.
While the Super Redhawk is available in 5-, 7.5- and 9-inch barrel lengths, the Alaska model comes with a 2.5-inch stiff barrel that's better suited for light, fast draws. These qualities make it a good choice for places like Alaska, where bears are a constant presence in everyday life.

In keeping with its role as a bear protection revolver, the Super Redhawk Alaskan is available in three powerful cartridges: the iconic .44 Remington Magnum, Ruger's own .480 Ruger, as well as the very powerful .454 Casull.

Regardless of the caliber the Alaska is in, each revolver comes with a 6-round cylinder, which gives the shooter plenty of firepower in a very small and lightweight platform. Additionally, the Alaskan comes with a rubber thumb grip to give the shooter a firm grip when firing the powerful revolver.
Ruger touts the gun as the best in bear and other big game protection, and that's not an empty claim. Here's why.
In 2009, salmon fishing guide and Alaska native Greg Brush took his dogs for a walk on a nearby dirt road. Soldotna, the Brush town on the Kenai Peninsula, has a constant bear presence, so even if you're only hiking with dogs, it's a good idea to be prepared.
During his walk he heard a twig crack. Although it wasn't much noise, it made Brush spin around. On the side of the road: a brown bear, scrambling and running straight into it. The bear arrived "with zero warning," Brash told the local newspaper. "No gloves, no teeth breaks, no stops, nothing like you think."

In a split second, Brush drew his Ruger revolver and instinctively pulled the trigger. The brush fell off his leg, and although he missed the first shot, three or four more shots found their mark, hitting the bear in the chest, shoulder and stomach.
Despite taking several shots from Kasul's powerful .454, the bear didn't go down immediately, instead it was writhing on the ground a few feet from where Brush was standing. However, the Ruger Brush did the job.
After the incident, examination of the bear's carcass revealed that it was very thin and probably starved, so the bear may have resisted and saw the Plane as an easy and much-needed meal. "If I couldn't kill him, he would kill me and maybe eat me," Brush said. Brush credits his Ruger revolver with literally saving his life.
