Would prefer a longer barrel but dont want anything to bulky
If you can find one, a 629 mountain gun would probably be ideal. Not currently produced, though.
That said, the 629 in a given barrel length is a couple ounces lighter than the Redhawk, and much smoother. I have a 3" pre-lock 629, and wouldn't trade it for two Alaskans. I do have a SRH .454, and while a nice gun in it's own right, it is quite crude by comparison.
