I have owned three Ruger .45 Colt revolvers, one Blackhawk, and two Redhawks. None of the three had any issues with chamber throats being uniform or being too small. All three were/are accurate.
While running around Bush Alaska, I carried one of the Redhawks for a while with CorBon, Buffalo Bullet loads, or my own handloads with nothing lighter than 250gr bullets loaded to ~1,000fps from their 5 1/2" barrels. Stout? Yes. Too stout? No.
Take your pick, but if push came to shove, a Mod 29 or 629 IS a lighter, easier to pack revolver.
