The Smith is superior in every way except durability. The durability of the Redhawk is something I doubt that 99 percent of their owners would ever put to test. Same can be said of the 629.


Heavy kicking loads are more abusive to the hand in a S&W. The Redhawk handles heavy recoil better.


Well I guess it depends on which redhawk and which 29/629 you are comparing against each other. The Redhawk weighs more and is physically larger. Grip selection makes a big difference with the Smith.
