One of Contender's neighbors has asked me to locate a Ruger Super Redhawk in 41 Magnum. Anyone ever heard or seen one of them?

That neighbor asked me if Ruger ever made a Super Redhawk in a .41 mag. I told him I didn't think so,, but they did make them in the Redhawk line.

Model 5521. Think they were a distributor run a few years ago. Thinking then was this was an easy way for Ruger to build a scoped .41 DA without dedicating resources to scalloped Redhawk barrels in .41.

They made the Super Redhawk in 41 Mag as well as the Redhawk with the scalloped barrel in 41 Mag. I sold a Super 41 Mag on Gunbroker in 2022 or 2023, I have the blued Redhawk 41 Mag with scope ring scallops on the barrel.
Sure they made a Super Redhawk in 41 mag. Had one for years, it a wonderful beast of a gun, I just prefer single actions over DA's. Another member here owns it now. Maybe he will see this post and add a current pic.

I tried looking up the model number above,, got zip.
But I stand corrected. If Ruger made a Super Redhawk with the larger frame than the regular Redhawk,, I missed it. I'll have to contact the neighbor & let him know I was wrong.

When I did a firearm search of Ruger & put in the model info,, nothing came up. I guess I didn't dig deep enough.
Ruger currently makes a single action in a 6 inch barrel in .41 Magnum. Its currently on their website.
And by the way the .41 is one of my favorite handgun calibers. It recoils way, way less than a .44 magnum but still is way big enough to do a lot of damage on a deer.
Last year I found a Smith .41 magnum in the now discontinued 8 3/8th barrel and it shot like a rifle at 100 yards. I also have a newer 6 inch Smith in .41 Magnum. Its one of the least appreciated calibers because people do not know how good it really is. Load one up with hard cast bullets and they will shoot right through about any animal in North America at pistol ranges.
OP
Gotta be a Super Redhawk, to "round out his collection". (He doesn't plan to shoot any of them.)

I have one. I haven't yet figured out the pic posting yet. It's a nice handgun. A lot of steel there.

I think the .41 mag is the most underappreciated pistol caliber of all time. I have two Smith's, one a 6 inch and the other an 8 3/8 inch pinned and recessed. Recoil is way less than the .44 mag and they are still throwing a 41 caliber bullet.
