454 Super Street Hawk
« on: February 19, 2004, 08:33:04 AM »
Well, just got my new toy yesterday and went to shoot it today. What a BLAST. What I have is a Super Redhawk in 454 Casull/45LC that has been cut down to 2 1/2 inches, inverted muzzle crown, cylinder modified to accept 45ACP with moon clips. A lot of other mods, I only have to use moon clips for the 45ACP, the 454 and 45LC still drop in like normal. The gun is customized by Jack Huntington in California. It is the proto type gun and goes by the name of Super Street Hawk. I went to my indoor range today and shot all three types of rounds. I had to shot on the short side of the range of 15 yards. The 45ACP stayed in a 2 1/2 to 2 inch group, the 454 and 45LC did much better. I had 1 1/2 inch and less groups. Function of all three round were flawless. The recoil on the 45ACP is almost non existent, 45LC not bad at all, normal 45LC recoil in a larger revolver. Surprising was the 454 Casull, I shot the Winchester 250 gr. factory rounds and recoil is stiff but very manageable. I find it no different that shooting with a 7 1/2 inch barrel, but more flash :). I shoot a BFR in 500MAG and the recoil was less than that, so it was not a problem. Overall I am very pleased with this gun.

A 3 1/2" 454, WOW! :eek:   Don't think my little chicken wings could handle that beast.  Sounds like you've got the ultimate 45.  Looks like a good shooter too.  Congrats!

I am a huge redhawk fan and of course a ruger fan overall.  I would be extremely interested to see some pictures of this one.  Been looking at the Alpine coversion when I find myself another cheap Redhawk.

Another 454 Ruger COnversion
« Reply #6 on: May 23, 2004, 01:12:05 PM »
Here is a pic of my Ruger Redhawk 454 Conversion:



I did not have the work done on this one, I bought it this way from a friend, he sent it to ANDY CANNON to have the work done, but he did not complete the work, it took him several years to get it all done.

I started life as a Ruger Redhawk in 44 mag, and was converted to 454 by Cannon, all the other work was completed by someone else.

Barrel is 4 5/8" with a single port break on the end. Finish is Hard Chrome.  I am still working on load development.

I am interested in the Alpine conversion, can some tell me about it?

If you were to shoot a porker at close range with that beast, I bet it would also barbeque it for ya, too!  The muzzle flash on that thing has got to be awe-inspiring in 454!   :shock:

Its pretty good!  My buddy that I got it from, used to lift the ceiling tiles in the indoor range when the gun was fired.

The line would pretty much stop and look to see what happened when he fired it, its an attention getter.
