  • is this as strong as a 44ss4 taurus?

  • I just got this beast as i loveeeee it!!!!!! And oh yes ethier i carry my glock 26 with hydrashocks or my glock 36. But now this is one of my carry. Guns now!!! And oh yes i have them in a hollow point for it so its def not the gun on my hip u wanna see if u try to rob me!

  • I just bought a Smith and it has a very sturdy frame. This revolver looks sick tho. I do live in Alaska. It takes a big round to take the bears up here. Looking to maybe purchase a .454 casul

  • People say a .45 is a zombie gun, pft. THIS is a zombie gun.

  • I CCW 2 of these every day!

  • times like this i wish i were 18 already

  • i dont care much for revolvers but the 454 ruger alaskan is unfucking believable gorgeous and i must have one

  • sweet!

  • getting mine back tomorrow!!

  • @theARMORYchannel the 454 is a good reason to start reloading

  • I've actually had the opportunity to shoot one of those things, and I was very impressed by it. It really does feel like a well made gun, and the Houge grip actually kept me from dropping it. I held it with both hands, but after the piece went bang, it was in only one of my hands, and perfectly vertical. The most amazing muzzle flip I've ever seen. The trigger pull was incredibly light, even if I don't pull the hammer back.

  • "This bitch is a beast."

  • The velocity you stated would only be in pistol with a much longer barrel...sadly. This thing will still put out a hell of a punch, but not nearly the stated velocity and power on the ammo boxes.

  • only The Rock can handle this wepon!!!

  • 1800fps handload hitting close to 2,000lb, combine that with a expansion JHP, or a soft point, its overkill for self defense.

  • How much did you pay?

  • @LockAndLoaded95 8 bills

  • In my opinion the 454 Cassul makes the 357 feel like a 22. I love shooting my alaskan

  • Give a novice something he wont understand.....a huge boner.

  • Guy at my range snuck one in as a .44 and started firing rounds. The owner comes down after 5 minutes of booming and halts fire. Guys inspected the steel plates on the range and found that the rounds were punching through the 1/4" steel. I saw up .close and it looked like the metal was liquified

  • Ruger has stronger frames I believe. I have read that the ruger 44 mags hold up better to magnum loads better than the smiths over time.

  • I'd love to hear from someone who has carried this IWB or shoulder holster. Is it as unreasonable as I fear it is?

  • absolutely beautiful and beastly handgun. i want one so bad!!

  • Nice report. I like how you worked the camera featuring all the sides, feels as if I was there looking at that cannon myself. That is a beast. Thanks for sharing.

  • wouldn't you have to adjust your load so most of the powder burned before the bullet exited the barrel?

  • to all that want this gun ... get one youll love it. and hes not joking when he says it could be a carry gun i carry mine all the time! it actually conceals better than most of my handguns if not all of them due to the shape of the grip. only downside is its heavy as hell and will pull your belt down all day.

  • i just gotta have one!!!

    

  • I want one with Rhino Testicle handgrips packin depleted uranium armour penetrators.and I want it NOW!!!

  • I want one!

  • stronger than a 500 magnum s&w?

  • @Mishomtp no but kicks harder than my 8 inch 500 mag

  • @zboyco shit! does that mean it hurts more than the 500 mag? the 500 mag was too much for me. it hurt so much it wasnt even fun i was hoping this wouldnt hurt as much. My hands are really boney and when i shoot the 500 mag i really feel it

  • @SonsOfLiberty65 yea its just as bad

  • @zboyco damn! o well its too late now ill just have to toughen up. at least i can shoot 45 long colts too

  • @SonsOfLiberty65 Put it into the Meat of your hand, just to the outside of the crease, use your arm as a shock absorber elbow slightly bent, proper foot stance/spread and maybe even angle your body slightly and lean into it - try again... Thin Tall women can shoot this - or just get accustomed to the 45 colt round instead - or opt out for a longer barrel.

  • Is this revolver stronger than .357 s&w?

  • @xXxNORALADYxXx does a bear shit in the woods

  • Hello guys, i will buy one revolver, but i dont know which revolver?? Smith and wesson 627 with 8 shoots is very good .357 magnum. Or the ruger alaskan? Can you help me please?

  • this gun is a beast im not sure if it kicks more then the 500 mag because its not ported and the 500 is but this gun is more easy to conceal with 2.5'' then the 4'' and other barrel lengths so if your talkin bout power it doesnt beat 500 mag maybe recoil and conceal it then yeah it beats it on that factor also on the frame the 500 mag uses x-frame to hold those tupido round so the frame is stronger

  • will it fire .45 Winchester magnum?

  • no te vayas a zurrar nomás!

  • BEEEEAAAAASSST!

  • I have a redhawk 45 colt and a s&w 686. The redhawk is twice as thick and hefty. The ruger is a work of art.

  • Very Nice Firearm, Love Its Looks, I Bought The Taurus Judge-With 3" Chamber- Shot The 45 Long 250 Gain, And The 410 3" Slug---Fun Gun--Monster----

     Now I Am Looking At The Ruger Alaskan 44 Mag..--It Will Be That Or This 454 Red Hawk----Still Thinking---- Thanks For Your Input---Joe.

  • i want cannon weight beast

  • Idc what anyone says. This is gunna be my first firearm. Couple more months.

  • Try looking at the raging judge magnum

  • a friggin cannon, weight, beast, friggin, brick...

  • WOW A GREAT LOOKING GUN,AND MADE VERY WELL,I HAVE THE FREEDOM ARMS,BUT THIS IS A SWEET GUN,MUCH BETTER THAN THE SMITH&WESSON-A POS,MY FRIEND HAS A SMITH 500 ALASKAN AND I HATE IT,I DONT TRUST SMITH ANYMORE,BECAUSE THE SAME FRIEND HAD A SMITH 329PD 44MAG THE STRONGEST AND LIGHTEST 44MAG MADE????-MY ASS,HE CAME BUY ONE DAY PALE AS A GHOST,AND HE SHOWED ME HIS 329PD,THE FRAME HAD CRACKED IN 3 PLACES,AND OF COURSE THEY REPLACED IT BUT I WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR MY MONEY BACK,ILL NEVER BUY A SMITH!!!!!

  • That's a sweet looking hand cannon but haven't you ever heard the saying " a picture's worth a thousand words"?

    No dis-respect intended but, Instead of telling us about how it shoots, why didn't you just shoot it & videotape the shooting so we could see for ourselves.

  • @1973Saved i have like 4 freakin  vids of it shooting

  • where the fuck did yu find it at i need one badder than i need life

  • Whoa!!! That shit is a beast!

  • that thickness means buisness baby

  • I'll put my 500 gr flat nose 500 S&W against your little spring chicken. That's an Alaskan womans pistol.

  • I'll put my 500 gr flat nose 500 S&W against your little spring chicken.

  • Looks like a good coon gun for CCW.

  • ..friggin cannon, weight, beast..friggin...brick

  • lol!!

  • well gawd dam

  • if you ccw that and shoot someone in self defense, I want to be your prosecutor :) I'd have a field day. Love that gun though.

  • Beautiful piece ,as seen in the movie Faster.

  • i love it but holland you cant defend yourself

  • hey, its in the movie "faster". It looks great when dwayne johnson carries one of these bad boys. NO KIDDING!

  • "This bitch is a beast" xD

  • @skatewithfritemare Most badass line in the review :D

  • oh shit, i so want one!!! i just picked up a Taurus Judge Public Defender. haven't shot it yet. i've had a S&W 500, but sadly had to sell it. i'm going to price check the .44 mag & special rounds & compare to the .454 casull/45LC rounds. which ever is cheaper is probably what i'll be looking at. great vid bro.

  • I have been shooting handguns about 35 years, but com on what´s the practical use of this "hand cannon"? Other than it´s "manly"

  • @1339LARS

    Handcannons have their uses against unarmored large mass/momentum targets. Like a bear, or Arnold.

  • @Ecthelion008 Funny reply!!

  • Comment removed

  • maravilha meu sonho de consumo

  • That is a bad lookin gun. Ruger does revolvers right!

  • I love .45, got 2 different .45 pistols even.....sadly in my neck of the woods we cant have these Alaskans cause of the barrel length. So I had to stick with the .44 super blackhawk...and holy SHIT is that fun to shoot. But you boys have a tank there.

  • Did you see that? The Ruger bullied the Smith! :P Man that Alaskan reminds me of a tank! I just had to look up some video. Thanks

  • With .45 Colt rounds, the gun barely recoils. For practice and personal protection, .45 Colt rounds are more than enough. Save the expensive .454 Casull rounds for blasting thing to pieces or backup in bear country.

  • @curly27784 wel lmaybe cowboy loads and light 45LC barely recoils but ive fired some hot 300 grain 45LC that felt like a 44 mag

  • That will totally fuckin make nigger think twice and niggers don't think!! Om fuckin gettin one . Meanist handgun ever..

  • i know its old but I've been looking for the 454 could you do a quick video with a thickness comparison to the 500 u have~thanks~

  • The Rock uses this same gun in the movie; Faster. This is bad friggin' ass. For conceal carry the .454 Causull is wayy too powerful for most situations, better to use the .45 colt. But... say all hell has broke loose, the chips are soggy and down, my Glock 23 .40 s&w is out of ammo, my Glock 20 10mm is empty as well, I'm cornered and the big nasty is approaching, and not a friend in sight, the end of the world is nigh... THIS is the backup revolver I want, loaded for fucking bear!

  • daamnnn that's a beautiful gun, after watching Faster id like one

    but im canadian we dont need guns; im afraid of americans though now :P

  • @StylinRed you say you dont need guns? how would you protect you and your loved ones? from the dawn of my country WE have protected our loved ones.....not or government....you should look to that while you still have achance, for you and yours

  • zboys, should you ever try the buffalo bore 454 in 360 grainers please let us know how they compare to the corbons. I am always concerned about some of these premium rounds jumping the crimp and locking up the cylinder when it is need in a crises (charging bear)... I have no experience with corbon and limited experience with buffalo bore ammo so that is why I am seeking information on the most reliable high performance ammo for the 454. Thanks for the videos

  • zboys. could you elaborate on the 454 corbon round that jumped the crimp? which 454 corbon load was it... Approx how many of those specific corbon rounds have you put through your alaskan, do you know of others to have a 454 corbon jump the crimp, etc.

  • @swamp04055 its been a while so ill try to recall it. it was a 20 round box of corbon 300 or 330 grain defense loads. it happened once with the round losing its crimp with that type of load. all others have been fine

  • zboys, i enjoy your videos.

    Have you compared buffalo bore to corbon ammo? If so i'd like to hear your comments. I shoot 360 grain buffalo bore rounds in mine. Have you ever had a 454 corbon cartridge jump the crimp?

    For me the recoil is really severe making it no fun to shoot with those loads.

    Also check out david johnson's guide's choice holster for this revolver. diamonddcustomleather dot kom

    visit my forums at huntamerica dot kom

  • @swamp04055 havent shot buffalo bore yet . did have one jump the crimp once

  • The ruger alaskan in 454 casull is for protection against bears at point blank range. with its approx 2 inch bbl it is fast to draw in case of a charging bear. Try pulling a S&W 500 in comparison, the 500 is too heavy to carry for practical purposes and too slow to draw in defense of a charge... The alaskan revolver in 454 is the gold standard for self defense in bear country. Its not a plinker and is not fun to shot when loaded with 454 rounds Visit the talk forums at huntamerica dot kom

  • @swamp04055 i beg to differ. i love to shoot 454 out of this 2.5 inch barrel. then again im a recoil junky

  • this gun is on my wishlist!

    i dont know what id shoot though..pick a fight wit a bear i guess

  • this gun looked dope in the movie faster

  • think i seen this gun in hell boy........ jesus its beefy

  • BEEF!!!!!

  • this is a zombie gun for sure max penitration small package.,,,

  • Beautiful video ... and I like them both: the Ruger and the S&W ... AR.

  • I am tore between this and the S&W 500 magnum short. After firing it and the 8 inch barrel, I'm a bit scared of the short lol. How would you compare this to the 500 short with heavy loads?

  • @zcde13 this kicks more than my 8 inch 500 mag

  • Super BlackHawk .44MAG is better

  • @jonathan043088 funny you mention that because at this moment im uploading a video on my super blackhawk

  • @jonathan043088: I disagree. Have you owned a 454 AND a 44? I have. I like the way the 454 shoots heavy 45's much better than the way the 44 shoots. With handloads the accuracy and MPBR goes way up on the 45's. If you have the 44, that's great, and I'm glad you enjoy it. However, if you are in bear country, a heavy 45 round is better IMHO. I use a 300 grain at 1325 FPS. More power than the 44 and gentler on the hand. I don't really use the full 454 Casull much. It rips my hand off.

  • I have an sp101 .357, a well built and designed gun. Gemini Customs for modifications.

  • Perfect 4 Big Game And Dangerous Game Hunting!

  • Sweet and loud, gotta love it

  • Ruger no doubt has the strongest revolver frames...thick and no side plates..you cant' beat them for how well they are built.

  • i belive this weapon has more prentrating power then a 50 cal i know its smaller but still a monster of a gun

  • nice but i like my ruger 480.in the same set up. 

  • oh yeah zboyco...where is a good ''cheap'' online source to purchase 454 ammo from?

  • @kcnjess13 i like sportsmanguide dot kom

  • @kcnjess13 ammunition to go.com

  • i hope to be owning one of these badazz revolvers soon!

    its a nice peice...rugers have one of the strongest actions,frames as for s&w they are great smooth guns...most want hold up as good as a ruger...as for the s&w 500??it will prob out last all.nice fukking toys you have zboyco!...keep your vids coming especially the chicks shooting guns vids...take care,be safe bro!

  • 6:28 I love the top view of this gun. Once you hold it in your own hands you realize how well made and how massive this gun really is. In the video it may look "small" but damn it isnt! I love it and still think about buying one even though I already own a 4 inch 500 S&W which I do also really love...

  • It's the exact same model used by Dwayne Johnson in the recently released movie "Faster." Was a big fucking gun in that movie too.

  • @boettcherownzu yea i sold the rock this gun

  • @zboyco Haha, well he made a great purchase!

  • It's the exact same model used by Dwayne Johnson in the recently released movie "Faster." Was a big fucking gun in that movies too.

  • how much does this cannon cost?

  • @fordxbgtfalcon in the 700-800 dollar range

  • @zboyco cool, thanks, I might have to get one.

  • I say Ruger makes a stronger revolver..and not be cause im a Ruger fan...i mean come on LOOK AT IT!!!!!!...LOL...no side plates either!

  • this gun protects your house... with style :D

  • I seen someone clear a busy street with one of those

  • Beauty revolver. Would love to see the end result of a .454 tungsten round or a glaser safety round

  • is there any way this could serve well as a personal home protection gun? ^^?

  • @muaythai193 with 45LC, yes

  • fricken.... brick lol

  • This is the gun The Rock uses in the movie "Faster". Sweet revolver man!

  • you remind me of dale dobeck from stepbrothers lol but good review though. love the piece

  • ok thanks bro

  • whats the recoil with the 454 vs the 44 mag???

  • @Blk05titan26 60 percent more

  • That thing is a cannon. Sexiest revolver I've ever seen! I'd love to purchase one in the future but low on funds atm.

  • That is SURE beautiful man, it is a piece of superb finery. I LOVE IT!

  • @rheinmetall30mm sell it to you for a cool grand Lou

  • @zboyco I am going to Buy a Walther P88

  • @zboyco WOW, and I was going to give you fourteen hundred.

  • This gun gives me wood

  • You're gonna get 20000 more views strictly from the new movie faster the Rock was shooting this pistol in it. Crazy gun I kinda want one such a beauty and a beast

  • One thing I really like about Ruger revolvers are their smooth cylinders. They look like a big smooth chunk of metal :P

  • Great tabletop review.

  • Outstanding. A nice CCW sidearm in 45LC for winter months, wearing waist jacket., and several speed-loaders.

  • lol cylinder tap! 

  • And it is a carry weapon, just ask dwane johnson in the movie faster.

  • DAAMN THE ROCK"S REVOVLER!

  • damn I luv the look it has like u said bull dog heavy built for the rough makes me wanna cry.

  • Can you say BOAT ANCHOR!

  • concealed carry?! sure its a decent size for it but come on...if you shoot that at someone itll go through him, the man behind him, and behind him, and behind him etc...

  • @ZeroDragondelta9 its a fine carry gun if you carrry 45 long colt rounds

  • @ZeroDragondelta9 I open carry and conceal carry with this gun every just about every day.No problem at all if you get the right holster.

  • @ZeroDragondelta9

    Hollow point, bullet placement. You will be fine with .454 casull. Still overkill though, lol.

  • @ZeroDragondelta9 well u can load it in 45 which i think is a plus.

  • @ZeroDragondelta9 and behind him and a couple of other guys

  • friggin cannon weight beast friggin brick. sweet.

  • I went shooting for the first time today and shot that gun. Omg what a gun! I like the ruger redhawk casull a little more. Alot more acurate than the .50 cal. Plus i shot the s&w with 450grn crtrgs. Packs a serious punch. You could pop the GoodYear Blimp like a party baloon with the S&W 500. lol

  • Very nice, great review. Just ordered it in the 44mag.

  • seriously? it fires 45colt? i've been interested in that gun but i wanted something that shoots more than one caliber. ie: 38special/357.

  • @bensharmak yes fires 45LC and 454 casull

  • wew she,s sweet! i gotta get one, yes the ruger series frame,s seem to be the best built out there, i own s&w 629,and taurus ragging bull,but the ruger seem,s to be a bit better built,congrats on your awesome ruger alaskan casull!

  • Damn, I love the lines on it. Have you ever shot .45 auto rim outof it? lol

  • Gun porn... SWEET GUN PORN!!!

  • It's simple, it's sex... in gun form.

  • hey great vid. but their is one smaller one on the market, the taurus 454 is 2.25 in! holy balls. downside of the taurus tho for those viewers looking for big punch in small frame is the taurus only has 5 rounds not six...and an extra 300gr of lead can mean the world :)

  • FUN FACT: Dwayne Johnson is going to use this gun as his main weapon in the upcoming movie "Faster"

  • @rattlesnakerocker Try ' Break Free ' works great Its all I use on my firearms.  Break Free cleans, lubes and protects good stuff.

  • @Mshelto1 you are very right, its all i use.

  • Comment removed

  • ruger rules,i have several 44 mag,s,, but ruger seem,s to make the best quality,,love the extra strength of the non fluted cylynder, i gotta get one these puppies!

  • 0:15 this bitch is a beast

  • Ok if you compare this to your 500mag in a self defense against grizzly or large predator which one you will bet your life. which one will out perform interms of power and quick follow up shots giving you are better control and ergonomics.

    By the way good vid l like the way you roll with your words keep it real.

  • That thing should be mounted on a tank^^

  • I have an Alaskan 454 also and I can't get it clean.Do you know any good product to clean the powder residue ? I use Sweet's 7.62 which is great on my semi autos but not working on this gun.

  • @rattlesnakerocker get the birchwood casey lead/powder burn removing cloth. best cloth out there. simply rub over the residue and it comes right off in seconds with it
