I have never understood why people post the Redhawk is too heavy?

A four inch Model 629 weighs 42 ozs. The snubby 629 weighs 40 ozs. The four inch redhawk weighs 47 ounces. Is 5-7 ounces going to make that much difference..? Especially when you consider the Redhawk is stronger, handles ALL heavy loads, and has a reputation for Timex/John Deere reliabilty?

Yes, there is the 329, but I would not expect it to hold up to any sustained full house loads.

Do yuou want an anvil or a prom queen? My Rugers always just work and they do it accurately no matter what you shove in the cylinder nor for how long.
