I have never understood why people post the Red hawk is too heavy?
Take a 29 and a Red with the same length barrel and put them in your hand. The Ruger has more weight toward the muzzle giving it a heavier feel. But I was surprised at the minimal difference in weight. I prefer the balance of an S&W over the Ruger.
