How much does a standard 5.5" barreled Ruger Redhawk weigh, abouts? how does that compare to what a standard 6" S&W N-frame (partial underlug, not full underlug) weighs?
How much would a 4" or so Redhawk weigh? Right now, 4" Ruger Redhawks are only available as a custom deal, but given the strength of the Redhawk design, I think one of these with a set of decent grips would be a just about perfect all-around big-bore revolver. However, would it weigh too much, compared to say, a Smith Mountain Gun?
Probably not much of a concealed carry item (either the 4" Ruger or the Smith), but I still like the idea of CCWing a big-bore revolver. (For practical reasons a 5-shot Taurus snubby would have to do most of the time; full sized, big bore revolvers are probably difficult to hide with many wardrobes.)
