Dang bug bit me in the butt and made me get a new gun itch. I always wanted to get a revolver in 10mm. So I went to see what Ruger had offerengs of. They had three, a GP100, a Super Redhawk, and a Superblackhawk in 10mm. I didn't want a single action so the superblackhawk was out. Comparing the Super Redhawk and the GP100, I noticed the Superredhawk had a barrel a bit longer, and it came with a scope mount and screws in the box. So I went with the Redhawk. Got me a 2X7 variable pistol scope with a matching finish, and a total of 12 moon clips.

SO I took it out to the range and set up a target at fifty yards, and these were the very first six shots I took with the gun. Heck, I didn't even sight the scope in yet, the VERY first six shots. (Flyer was definitely MY fault) I think I may have a keeper here. As a side note, I was shooting MY 10mm reloads with 180 grain projectiles and Blue Dot powder.

Nice gun. I had one just like that in 44mag. That was the last gun I ever sold. Regrettably.

Dang! You can sell your rifles now and buy more revolvers. Good shooting.

I would quit. Put the gun and target in a nice presentation case and display it on the wall. Go buy another that needs some work.

I'd say! Nice shooting and congrats to the OP. I had one in .44 mag with a Leopold 2x. It was sweet, but I sold it.

Whoever comes up with a spray repellent for that bug is gonna make a million. And I guarantee the main ingredient will be something extracted from a grievous wife...


Real nice pistol guy

Was that target shot at 50 yards or 25 feet which was posted on the 10mm forum ?

Some not too expensive 2X7 variable. It's out in the gun safe, I am too lazy to go look.

Was that the same picture? I have another target posted at 21 feet (7 yards), not 25. I possibly mixed them up in my head. This one was 50 yards. The 21 foot was with a Mechtech CCU 10mm and a Red Dot Scope.

I've always been intrigued by the 10mm caliber. Don't reload so worried about ammo availability

Some big differences between a Redhawk and a Super Redhawk. Nice gun though.

I've been pondering the Ruger in a 357 caliber. My circle seems to prefer them to similar S&W's.

With ALL Due RESPECT It's a Revolver not a Pistol (A Misnomer) And Still a Nice Group.
