I want a 44 Magnum handgun to kill a freezer deer or two when a close range opportunity presents itself, I like the Ruger Redhawk 5.5" barrel or the Smith 629 with 5" or 6.5" barrel though I'm not really crazy about having an integral lock on My handgun.... I would like to hear some thoughts on these revolvers and barrel length recommendations from handgun hunters based on My criteria........Thanks Hb
The short answer is either one will do fine. It all depends on how each one fits your hands and how you like or dislike the action/trigger/sights/grips and that is a very personal thing. I've had both and still have the Smith, but you can't go wrong with either one.
