There are definately 3" factory 629's out there floating around out there that pre-date the lock if thats' important to you. I think a good number of them were done in special runs for Lew Hortan.
Gunnie,
In addition to being slightly dimensionally different in some areas, K Frames chambered for .357 also receive some extra metallurigcal magic (heat treat) to help deal with the higher pressures generated by the .357 magnum round.
Buy a model 19 or model 13 and be happy :)
What a great thread!
I remember going to the neighborhood Holiday gas station in the mid '70s buying my first "real" gun with my dad after seeing a sale ad on TV during a Vikings game.
It makes me smile just thinking about it.
If you like the Redhawk and want to try it for every day carry then by all means, have at it! With a good quality belt and holster it'll probably pack around OK, but I'd think the sheer bulk (read cylinder diameter) is going to end up being more than you want to deal with.
Let us know how it...
I was going to break my own rules and type up the whole list but I'm too danged lazy :)
Suffice to say I own quite a few and am always lookin' for more - 22's are good for the soul!

Good cheap guns
Milsurps rule the roost here! K31's and Swedish Mausers for well under $200 bucks, sub $100 SKS's...etc.

Most $90 Marlin model 60's you see in the used gun rack will shoot circles around guns costing much, much more including many bolt guns.
Heck I think even the new ones are under 200 bucks.
