My brother bought a Super Red Hawk in 44 Mag when they came out. The bore on that revolver was so over-size the bullets would tumble. You could drop a 44 bullet through the barrel. It shot 12” groups at 25 yard if you’re lucky. I had a FFL license back then and was looking for a decent silhouette revolver. I bought and sold 10 Super Black Hawks before I got one that shot accurately. It shot very well - 2” groups at 100 yards with GC cast.
I lost interest in Ruger revolvers. It was hit or miss in the Ruger’s until they made their own barrels. But by then I was fully a S&W shooter.
I’ve owned quite a few S&W revolvers. I like them all.
