The flat-top is nice for sure. in the 4.6" bbl., only 36 oz, and all steel. My BH is 39 oz, with an aluminum grip frame, but more steel on the frame/cylinder.

I went back and forth between the two. The BH grip is a little bigger, and a little more room behind the triggerguard. I liked the BH grip better in the end, but that's a personal choice.

Of course the BH will handle all the snorty ammo, but honestly I don't see myself shooting anything the flat-top wouldn't handle. I've still got the SBH 44 for the stomper loads.
