Lesse, I've owned two Redhawks, one Super Redhawk, and a bunch of 29s. I'm now down to two 29s, both -2 designation, one 4 inch barrel, the other 6 1/2 barrel.

The Smith is lighter and has a much better trigger pull which is good for plinking and target punching. I reload and my loads are ~ 44 special. I prefer the Smith for that purpose.

If I were looking for a field gun though, I'd go with a Redhawk. It's heavier and the trigger is rougher, but it's a tough gun. And when you're pumped full of adrenaline (face to face with a 1000 pound hamster) you don't notice the heavier trigger pull.

It all depends on what you want to use it for. If it's for plinking, I'd shop for a pre lock model Smith. But that's just me.
