I bought one of those short barreled 44's when they first came out. Grip is just too small for my hand. I don't mind a short barrel, like the 3" 629 and such, but I've got the Ruger Alaskans in 454 and 480 so I see no real purpose for the short barreled 44 Redhawk. The grip on the Alaskan is much better IMO. Plus I've got a 3-3/4" Super Blackhawk Bisley that is pretty sweet. So I'm covered when it comes to short handy guns, other wise nothing wrong with the 4.2" Redhawk in 44 Mag and 45 Colt. Don't get much better than those.

If you can carry a 2.5 inch 44, 41, or 45 with no problems then you can carry a four inch just as well. Short barrel big bore handguns suck i came back to this. I guess thats why that smith 696 three inch 44special is trading at about 1000 bucks these days. and the three inch model 57 lew horton i have is probably a dog too.
