I'd like to have a 4" stainless Redhawk or 4" standard barrel weight 629. In all honesty, I'd probably prefer the Ruger for what I'd be using that gun for (bear country hiking and self defense while hunting).
Randy, The MG's slim profile barrel with full house 240gr ammo just wasn't very controllable. I've been shooting 44 Mags for about fifteen years, but due to the cost I don't shoot them enough to get proficient with a light weight model. I've owned a few ported guns, and didn't like the blast coming up in my field of view.
The jury is out on this 6.5" Classic, because its a TANK. I had a 5" Classic about 10 years ago (IIRC) and it was much more comfortable in hand. This gun is just huge.
If I keep this one - it'll be supplemented with a 4".
