My case is an out of production coffincase.com model. It was originally designed as a microphone case. I bought it used on eBag.

My 5" Vaquero will rotate something fierce when using H110 loads. Those slick grips prevent the gun from ripping the skin off your palm but there's no such thing as a quick follow up shot.

The 454 SRH is a fine gun but it doesn't fit my odd shaped paws. My hands aren't overly long but I do have large palms. I want wider grips than the SRH offers. I picked up a Redhawk at a gun show and immediately liked the grips.

Sitting here fondling both guns there is a big difference despite being the same weight. The RH has more weight in the grip while the SRH is nose heavy. I prefer the feel of the Redhawk.

I can balance the RH on the bottom of the frame just in front of the trigger guard. The SRH has a balance point farther forward. Both are 7-1/2" guns.
