I'm considering a .44 and, for various reasons, will probably go with a Ruger.
However, I don't know very much about the different variations of Redhawks and Blackhawks. Looking at this month's AR and Ruger's site, Blackhawks seem more cowboy oriented with the rounder handle, so I'm leaning towards a Redhawk. What makes a Redhawk a Super Redhawk?
I know I'm looking for something target/hunting, probably 5" bbl, and will more than likely put a scope on it. Looking at the auction sites, the Redhawks look like they've had different tweaks over the years. Some appear to keep the scope on the frame, while others are made to have the scope on the frame and barrel. Some almost look like they've started as a 2" snubby and then had a barrel insert put in.
So, kindly enlighten me on what to look for.
thanks.
