My grandmother bought me this exact pistol for my 18th birthday. I'm 36 years old now,have carried it in my pickup everyday since and fired many shots through this gun. Thousands of shots. Very durable pistol as well. God bless you grandma, we miss you.

This man does things with handguns that normal people couldn't do with a rifle with a scope. Unbelievable

Two things here: He’s good and that Ruger is accurate.

Never seen anyone, in person, shoot like that. Bloody impressive.

The ranger with the big iron on his hip is back.

Hits the gong ...ding... "That means we're allowed to start" Perfect.

24/25 with a revolver on 50+ yards on small steel targets. Wow I hope to do that one day. Incredible. Congrats Mr.Hickok45

Good start to the day. A cup of coffee and Hickok shooting a 44 mag.

Good morning Mr.Hickok,and to John. The guys here at 3/73 B troop said hello. We are at Fort Bragg.Airborne Out!⚄⚂⚁ND Love the weapon.Nice!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I Absolutely love my Dads Ruger Super Redhawk 44 magnum. Thanks for showing this Ruger Redhawk 44 magnum Hickok45. It brought memory's of my Dad back. Hickok45 for life !!!!!!!!

Handling the 44 like it’s a 22 with accuracy. Wow

absolutely phenomenal shooting... nobody on KZfaq can match your aim and steady hand... and you’re the coolest gunslinger i’ve ever know. you will forever be a Legend on KZfaq and the favorite of a whole generation of fans that got to watch you live! :)

Mighty fine shooting - one of the best revolvers ever made in my opinion.

My grandfather has carried a Redhawk since the thing came out. Absolutely loves it.

I have a 7.5 inch 44 mag Redhawk from the 80's. Love it. Literal hand cannon.

I love this revolver. The design reminds me of true Americana and country living.

“Haven’t had this thing out in a good while, I forgot I had it.” When you forget about firearms you have you are truly blessed

Good shooting! I had a Redhawk and a S&W 44 mag back in the 80’s and owning both preferred the Redhawk hands down over the S&W. Been using a Super Redhawk now for the past 15 years and will never sell it. Great Pistol for hunting or for that unwelcome visitor 😁

Had the same gun, traded it for a 1911 that I could never afford. Yes I have "sellers" remorse.. Never let your guns go!!!

Here are the official numbers. You went 22 for 23 on the animals. With two hits on the gong, it is 24 for 25.

I have the same model Ruger but with hogue grips. I have a box of 310 grain hard cast cartridges from Garret. It is a beast with those rounds, but oddly fun to shoot. Mostly I shoot American Eagle, 240 grain. Not bad at all to shoot. The gun is incredibly accurate, but for some reason I don’t get the same results that Mr. Hickok45 gets. What a skilled gunman!

Mr. Hickok, thank you so much for the.44 Magnum Redhawk demonstration, I purchased one today for a very good price and it's my second handgun I've ever owned! Watching you gives😊 me inspiration to work on my shooting confidence, you put out a good product sir thank you!

13:10 more true than most will admit, but I love this channel and since I lost my dad many years ago and my dad was his age and John is about my age, this channel is a fantastic holdingpoint in my life. I hope you guys continue and have fun doing it for a long number of years! All the best and thumbs WAY up to the both of you :)

I've carried my 5.5" barrel Ruger Redhawk and a Winchester 94 trapper model outdoors on hunting and camping trips and as a working cowboy out west since 1984 . Back in the day ; those were the only 2 guns I had for a good 25 years . Now I have a safe full of handguns ; rifles and shotguns ......but when I saddle up my horse ; that old Winchester goes in the scabbard and my old Redhawk is on my hip period ! Both have had thousands of rounds fired thru them and neither one is worse for the wear . Both still very tight and accurate . Not a single breakage with either one . Some of the bluing was rubbed off my Winchester's receiver over the years spent in the scabbard under my leg in all kinds of weather !!!! That pair of 44s kept us safe ; well fed and provided countless hours of plinking to boot . I never had to test them on Grizzlies but everything else fell cleanly with just one well place shot . Including a big black bear that fell instantly in it's tracks as he was giving me a very dirty look one day on my ranch in Arkansas ...... ! I really am sorry that he forced my hand that day instead of going the other way like all the others did before and after him !!!

I love those ruger hawks ! There hard to beat

Best shot on the tube. Period. My man HK45!

Good gun, awesome shooter, amazing man. Thanks for sharing Hickok 45 sir. 👍

I have one of those 44 magnum red hawks, I got it about six years ago, it has a scope for it also, it’s my favorite revolver that I won’t give up until I have to leave this earth. Whenever I bring it to the indoor range it attracts attention. Especially the sound of it at the indoor range!

My favorite revolver in the world. Love it.

I’ve got one I inherited from my father that he bought new. Man what I would do to be able to go shoot with him again.

Unbelievable 80 yard shots hitting the gone offhand iron sights just amazing

I bought a Ruger revolver in the 80s too Still have it and use hand loads 80% of the time

It's a pleasure to watch Hickok glad you are still on here shooting !

I've owned my Redhawk since 85 and I still love it

Just got into revolvers and absolutely love my Ruger GP100 with 5 inch barrel. They are built extremely well and rugged to handle any load for decades of shooting. Just shot 200 rounds of 357 magnum and loved it. Not a single issue with it as expected and only firearm in my collection that puts a smile on my face when that 357 magnum round thunders.

It is such a pleasure to watch you shoot, I’ve spent 2 and a half hours today winding down watching your videos. I have been a subscriber for 5 or 6 years now. I work in corrections and cannot even start my countdown to Coronavirus quarantine until the last confirmed case is 7 days free from symptoms. I provide basic medical care, get them showered, give them food every day, therefore face exposure every single day. I can go to work, and home, and that is it. That is on top of the daily shit I endure. I honestly can’t describe what a relief to my soul your videos have become over the last couple of weeks. You probably never set out intending to do that, but thank you. Also as soon as I can, I’m buying a Ruger Gp100 .357!

When you have so many guns you cant remember all of them.....Hickocked

I bought one from the 1st owner in 1984. Early model without millings for the scope. I tried a set of Hogue grips and gave them away after a bunch of shooting. My big hands hold my Redhawk very well. Love hearing it echo up the Montana canyons.

I wish I had hickok as a teacher/professor.

Hickok's favorite movie: 'Gong With The Wind'.

Love my RedHawk..glad you brought yours out

If a Smith and Wesson isn't your thing a Ruger probably will be. I love them both, but that Redhawk is very pretty.

Just watched this one for the first time. Just amazing. Says a lot about both our man and that gun. Good shooters.

I have the same gun, about the same vintage. I have had it scoped, run red dots on it, etc, and while it does great with all sights there is nothing like shooting it and how it looks and feels with just the iron sights. Watching hickok45 years back made me reconsider iron sights and learn to master them. Thanks hickok!

Classic Ruger Redhawk .. I remember my dad had one of those in the 80's awesome sexy gun ..

I wanna be like Mr. Hickok when I grow up! What a fun, amazing life. YOU ROCK!!!

Owned a S&W Model 29-3 and HATED IT. Now have a Ruger Redhawk 5.5 and LOVE IT. Built like a tank and shoots hot loads like a 9mm

Absolutely phenomenal display of talent!!!😮👍👍 Inly reason you missed that one shot is that your arms were tired...only unsteady sight picture out of all the shots you took. Almost every hit was *CENTER!!! AMAZING!!!!*

Thank you for the many great videos and testing many different guns. We all appreciate your truthful commentary and really enjoy them when you give the pros and cons . We respect you and your web site Thank You for sharing with all of us, we look forward to your next videos .

First shot straight to the gong! 🤪🤩

I like the way he takes a deep breath before shooting , like he may doubt his self of being able to hit the target .....he is the best I ever seen

Finally! A gun that doesnt look small in your hands! lol

I have a Redhawk JUST like that. Previously, I had a S&W 29, just like Dirty Harry's. The S&W had the better single action trigger by far, but it shot loose whenever I shot magnums through it. The Redhawk... the barrel broke off the first time I shot it, and it tumbled downrange. I sent it back to Ruger, they fixed it free of charge, with no explanation. I researched it, and the deal was that they had a new thread lock for the barrel for this run. For the guns that had their barrels doped in that threadlock right before operations were shut down for the night, the thread lock dried before morning, so that when they torqued the barrels in the next morning, it stressed the steel so much that it was not long for this world. They replaced it for me and sent it back without a comment. It has been a great gun ever since. Never shot loose with magnums, except the one time, hehehe. I AM a bit disappointed that Hickock didn't shoot at least ONE cylinder of factory magnums. It puts hair on your chest. Soft Specials were my favorite, though. I could shoot them all day long and never miss at 25 yards.

In a world riddled with firearm channels that are over saturated with quick cuts, testosterone, sweeping electric guitar, and flames Hickock45 is the only gun channel that provides simple no-nonsense in depth videos that would be interesting to anyone

Great video, love my Ruger red hawk awesome for back country carry. Just putting this out there maybe a comparison video featuring Colt anaconda, S&W 29 and Ruger redhawk

Very happy to see another video featuring the Redhawk. Awesome gun. I'm so glad I bought one because I've been having a ton of fun with it.

Dang. This revolver is so accurate. Your shooting made it look so fun.

I have a super redhawk that I bought in the late 80's..love that gun..have several handguns and the ruger is my favorite revolver S&W 625 close second

Great gun. Great range. Great shooting as always. Love stopping by.

Incredible marksmanship Hickok45. You are a .44 magnum whisperer.

Thank you, Hickok. Now I need a 44 Redhawk

“Let’s see if we can hit the gong”.....did anyone think he couldn’t???

Tested Friday. Pure pleasure ! I'm a big fan of the .44. Magnum, to the great amazement of many French sports shooters, for whom the 9 Para is a large caliber...😁

This is the Real deal people ...if you really want to learn how the World Champions Sharpshooters get it done pay very good attention because He is a World Record Holder and a Legit Legend and we are all blessed to have him here and to have the honor of learning from the true Master of Arms ... Forever Forward Brother

I love a Red Hawk in 44 Mag Best dam pistol man ever made.

I have this exact model including grip and finish. Beautiful gun and fits my hand better than a Smith, which is what I was looking for when I was handed this one.

He not only knocks them down, he hits them dead center 99.9% of the time. Amazing!!!

The Ruger Redhawk has to be one of the greatest revolvers ever, they are built like a tank and yet mine at least has a wonderful SA and DA trigger pull, nothing not to like. Because they are so strongly built and have the longer chambers, you can shoot any 44 mag ammo on the market without a concern and if your wrists can hold up :)

When I was a kid I got my first firearm. Ruger 10/22 when I was 14. I got real good with it. Moving on to an SKS and spent some years with shotguns, hitting nothing but frisbees and clay. Never needed a handgun because I would borrow my uncles older model police practice revolver forgetting the maker. His service revolver was a lighter Colt Police Positive Special: Al Capone's Favorite Handgun. With his practice revolver I shot at least 600 rounds through it over the course of a few years and I got props for my groupings. The following year I got a Berretta 92FS. And after the learning curve, I was still putting in a tighter grouping with the 4" 38 and could never figure out why until about a year later after shooting only the 92. I went with my unc to the range and we would switch back and forth with each other gun. I noted that my grouping was now tighter using my 9 more than the 38 had ever been. I must of been on a better diet or something. I was still fair with the 38 but not like I was with my 9. After my uncle was done with my gun, he said and I quote, "I think I'll stick with my Colt". But one thing I did notice was that neither of us was as good of a shot as Hickok 45.

My Grampa Just pasted away a couple days ago,44 magnum was his favorite to hunt with!

Shout out to your channel love all your tips about fire arms keep up the awesomeness.

I've always wanted to get into firearm collecting but never had the means to. Your videos have always been incredibly informative and well made! good job!!

I'd say you have bagged your limit good sir. Lol

Once again , excellent demonstration from a superb seasoned shootist !

I really like the Redhawk . I carried one as duty weapon , 5 1/2 barrel . I trust n enjoy shooting it . Great gun

44 mag and they are just falling- no hesitation 😂😂😂

I have the same gun. I put a Burris 2x scope on it and man its deadly. Thank you sir

About 4 years ago I picked up a Red hawk in 44 magnum at a local gun show at a good price. It was in like new condition. I had two Smiths already, a 6 1/2 inch early model 29 and a stainless 6 inch 629, so I was no stranger to the .44 magnum. I had been reading about how Elmer Keith had contrived with Remington to come up with the 44 magnum and still have Keith's book. Although the action on the Smiths is somewhat smoother, the overall strength of the Redhawk is somewhat stronger. Buffalo Bore and similar high performance ammo is specifically noted to be used only in stronger revolvers, ie . Red hawk and not revolvers built to lessor strength. I have loaded many rounds of the standard Keith 250 grain bullets/ ie, the Lyman 429421 hard cast out of metal and it never leads the bore. While I have a couple of holsters for the Smiths, I did not have one for the Red hawk so I sourced one and a matching belt and have yet to try it out since I just got it. Both the Smith and Wesson and Ruger guns ( Red hawk and Super Red hawk) are very reliable guns

This guy is pretty much the undisputed KZfaq top marksman.

My favorite gun...tough call between the Redhawk, GP100, and S&W 686, but the Hawk wins out. It's accurate, comfortable, pretty, shoots like a dream, and built like a tank. I have two, I'll never get rid of either.

Mr Hickok45 is not a guy to mess with within 300yrds

Yeah, I noticed that bent case when you chambered it. Your miss was on that bullet.

05:40 Cool how you can freeze the bullet just before it hits... at 0.25 speed.

People that haven't shot a handgun offhand might not understand that it isn't easy to shoot as well as Mr. Hickok45 does in this video. The man is a good shot.

Finally, a gun that doesn't look like a toy in Hickoks massive mitts.

That is the perfect pistol for hunting 😊

My opinion only is I think it’s one of the best products RUGER HAS MADE

Awesome! Old school sharpshooter is still in business!

This one never gets old❤👍🏻🇺🇸

The Birds of Prey, Blackhawks, Redhawks, and Super Redhawks are all excellent. Well maybe that standard Blackhawk's square trigger guard could be altered to make it more fun to shoot. Excellent video as usual. Thank You!

The person holding the camera shakes a great deal more then the barrel on that hand cannon...nice job Mr. 45

My favorite Redhawk was a 7.5” in 357 mag. I handloaded a 220 gr swc over a large dose of H110. It was an awesome gun and quite reliable at taking down the 200 meter Rams. Unfortunately, I sold it.

Your handgun accuracy sir is fantastic. Great shooting.

I’m a HUGE S&W fan myself,but these Rugers are really beefed up. If I were having to use 300 grn bullets,I’d feel better running them through Rugee!

Sir, this is why we all come here. You are The Man. What shooting! Life is good!

My son has had his since 2003 and hunts deer with it among other things and shoots it a lot , great revolver !

I am purchasing one of these tomorrow! I did a KZfaq search, and came across this video. You are Badass Sir!(subscribe clicked)

24 of 25 shots hit their mark with that RUGER. Now it's time for you to see if your S&W can equal or better that? I like my 686, but I'm betting the Redhawk wins that battle. Looking forward to part 2.

Bought my first "married" gun, (1st gun I bought after getting married) and it was a Blued Ruger Super Redhawk way back in 1988. I was going to get the S&W but after looking at the revolvers side by side, I chose the Ruger as it just looked more beefy than the S&W. Don't regret my purchase one bit!!! It shoots everything I put in it including hot reloads! I recently purchased a Henry BigBoy in 44 just so my Ruger wouldn't get lonely ;-) Don't regret that purchase either!!!

I love the Ruger Redhawk..one of my favorites!! You are a really good shot at that distance!!
