Guess I need to research difference in weight, since it appears the Bisleys have non-fluted cylinders.

Like I said, I used to have a 5 1/2" Redhawk that I carried when I was deer hunting. It was noticeable on my hip, but not oppressive. It was a cream-puff to shoot... I had put the shallow v "express" sights on it with a gold bead front.
Over 700 bucks is a little pricey for my current financial situation. I remember thinking that $399 dollars for a brand new Redhawk was outrageous, when I bought the three I used to own... which ought to tell you how long ago it was that I had them.
Wish I still had the .357 one, just for the novelty of it. It was like shooting a .22, recoil wise.
