Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Is a 7.5 inch Redhawk 44 too much barrel

The triggers are slightly better on the Supers due to the spring arrangement/action design. That said, the Redhawk actions can be tuned quite nicely. I prefer the RedHawks, due to the size of the revolver. The RH are already a big gun, there is no reason to pack any more weight unnecessarily on your hip, as you don't really gain anything.


I currently own a 7.5" and a 4" and find them to be just fine. My 5.5" ended up at my dads when he decided he wanted to "borrow" it, about 15 years ago.



This spring I have spent a good bit of time in Grizzly country in various parts of Montana and when I was not carrying one of my .45 Autos, I was carrying either a 4" Redhawk or M29, loaded with 305 grain hard cast SWCs.
