Both the Redhawk and the Super RH have scope models available last time I checked.<BR>I debated the same issue some years back, and bought a stainless SBH 44 mag, with a 5.5 inch barrel, rounded trigger housing. Fine revolver, but it was awkward... the barrel was too long to be short, and too short to be long. The 5.5 inch compromise-length didn't fit my desires, so I sold it and bought a stainless BH 45LC with 7.5 inch barrel. I wanted all the velocity I could get. And it carries on my hip just fine. <BR>The advantage with a double action, is one can reload the cylinder faster. ~~~Suluuq
