The Redhawk, if anything, is stronger than the Blackhawk. Definitely at least its equal.
The cylinder length is longer in it and allows for longer seating of a given cartridge than a comparable Blackhawk or Super Blackhawk.
I've fired some mean H110 loads from my redhawk pushing 300gr bullets and I just don't have a use for that type of power down here in AZ... but the Redhawk can push 330 or even larger bullets as a result of that extra cylinder length.
Granted, both mine are in .44, but the .45 ones are reported to be quite sturdy too.
