Yeah and a Redhawk is a pound heavier. The best thing about the .44Spl is power in a portable package, smaller and lighter than your average .44Mag. It's not about "magnumizing", it's about utilizing its fullest potential. No need for pigeonholing. A 250gr at 1000-1200fps is a long way from a .44Mag, which is 250fps faster and at least 10,000psi higher in pressure.
