I got to say "hi" to a black bear back in august at about 25 yards.
I had a 4" redhawk on my hip that came to hand very quickly. I was lying on the ground, glassing out a long meadow for elk, my rifle out in front of me. Bear came up behind me. No shooting was needed, but it was a comfort.
I also have a 5.5" redhawk, and it was my first redhawk. Were I to hunt with only a handgun, this larger one has gold bead sights that are much finer and more precise. It's still fairly nimble in hand, but the length of the barrel is a pain in the butt when sitting or kneeling in the woods. The 4" is a better hiking partner.
