Detailed Features 

The double/single-action mechanism gives shooters the choice between a longer DA pull for quick fire or the lighter SA pull for deliberate accuracy. The integrated scope mount system lets users attach optics without adding a separate base. The HiViz fiber optic front sight picks up light quickly in varying conditions, and the adjustable rear allows windage and elevation correction. The Hogue Tamer Monogrip controls what recoil the .22 Hornet produces in this platform, which is minimal, and provides a comfortable hold. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

The 9.5-inch barrel and .22 Hornet are well-suited to small game hunting and varmint control at moderate distances. The integrated scope mount makes it practical with a long-eye-relief handgun scope. At the range, the 8-round capacity and mild recoil make extended target sessions less fatiguing than larger-caliber Super Redhawks.

Shooters who discuss the Ruger Super Redhawk Gen2 in .22 Hornet tend to focus on the build quality Ruger is known for. The satin stainless finish is praised for both its look and its corrosion resistance. The revolver handles reliably and consistently, which is the main thing most owners want from it.

Accuracy and mild recoil are the most commonly cited positives. The .22 Hornet in a revolver is an unusual combination, and users appreciate its effectiveness for small game and varmints at reasonable distances. The low noise relative to centrefire handgun cartridges is noted by those who shoot without hearing protection at times.

Weight comes up as a practical consideration. At 66 oz the revolver is heavy for extended carry, and some users find that tiring. Ammunition availability is another recurring concern. .22 Hornet is not as widely stocked as more common calibers, and some owners mention it takes extra effort to source. Neither issue changes the general positive reception, but both are worth knowing before buying.
