I bought one of those short barreled 44's when they first came out. Grip is just too small for my hand. I don't mind a short barrel, like the 3" 629 and such, but I've got the Ruger Alaskans in 454 and 480 so I see no real purpose for the short barreled 44 Redhawk. The grip on the Alaskan is much better IMO. Plus I've got a 3-3/4" Super Blackhawk Bisley that is pretty sweet. So I'm covered when it comes to short handy guns, other wise nothing wrong with the 4.2" Redhawk in 44 Mag and 45 Colt. Don't get much better than those.
