I have too many revolvers, including 3 model 629s and one 29. I’m thinking of selling one of them and maybe getting a Redhawk. There’s one at the LGS I have my eye on.

One thing I’ve noticed is that the price difference in Rugers and Smiths has gone away, at least in this store. Is that everywhere?

Comments appreciated.

I like the various 5" and shorter 629's. A dash 5, 4" is possibly my personal favorite. But, I also like like a couple of the nominal 4" Redhawks. I have one each in 44 mag & 45 Colt. If I had to make a choice, I personally would choose my 4" ish Redhawk over my 629. Partial reason is, I actually like the looks and "feel" of the 4" Redhawk and I can fire any commercially produce factory ammunition in the Redhawk. The looks and feel are strictly a individual like or dislike.
I don't see much in price differences between the two.
