Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Ruger Redhawk .357 Magnum also fire .38 Special ammunition?
Yes. Because .38 Special cartridges share the same bullet diameter as .357 Magnum, the Redhawk can safely chamber and fire .38 Special loads. This makes it highly versatile — you can practice with milder, more affordable .38 Special rounds and switch to full-power .357 Magnum loads for hunting or defense. When using .38 Special without moon clips, the cartridges will headspace on the cylinder's recessed shelf.
What are the moon clips for, and do I need them to shoot?
The Ruger Redhawk's cylinder is relieved (machined) to accept full moon clips, which hold all 8 rounds together as a single unit for extremely fast reloads — simply drop the clip in and close the cylinder. Moon clips are especially popular with competitive shooters. They are not required for shooting; .357 Magnum cartridges headspace on the case mouth and function normally without clips. Three full moon clips are included with every Redhawk.
Is the Ruger Redhawk suitable for handgun hunting?
Absolutely. The Redhawk platform was originally designed with hunting in mind, and the .357 Magnum chambering with an 8-round cylinder makes this revolver an excellent choice for medium game such as whitetail deer, wild hogs, and coyotes at reasonable ranges. The 4.2" barrel provides a good balance of velocity and portability, while the adjustable rear sight allows for precise zeroing with your preferred hunting load. Always confirm legal hunting requirements in your specific region before heading afield.
