This new design, dubbed the Ruger Super Redhawk also introduced a revised stub grip similar to that of the Ruger GP100 revolver.

The .480 Ruger operates at far lower pressures than the .454 Casull, making it more comfortable to shoot.

Rather than using the Blackhawk, Ruger chose to chamber the new round in the double-action Super Redhawk, and designed the cartridge to fit in a 6-shot cylinder.

Ruger's new revolvers were unlike other guns on the market in that they used a one-piece frame, rather than a removable sideplate, which lent them superior strength. The Ruger Redhawk, introduced in 1980 and also designed by Sefried, was a scaled-up and improved version of the Security-Six.
