Both are fine examples of 44 magnum. If you plan on shooting alot of heavies, the redhawk may be a better choice. Personally, I have no problem with the lock on the smith. YMMV

Howdy gents, I've got it in my head that I need a double action 44 mag sixgun... I'm leaning toward the Redhawk because I want to be able to run 300 grain and heavier bullets through it on a fairly regular basis. Thanks. Your question answers itself. "300 grain and heavier... on a fairly regular basis" rests your case for the Redhawk, a sentiment shared by member respondents. No point turning a sweet M-629 into a baby rattle. However, to live and let live in the soft range of the .44 Magnum, the 629 sings its own tune. David Bradshaw

Thanks for all the replies. Numrich is sold out of the Butler Creek rubber grips. If I buy the Redhawk I would probably try sanding the wood grips until they feel right, they're way too thick at the bottom. Grip feels better if I turn the gun upside down.

As of this week, all three of my Redhawks wear the excellent Badger grips. For my particular hands these grips fit as if built for me. The slight downward angle of the finger grips provide great control. Don't try to push my preferences, but certainly worth a try. They look even better than they feel

I'm a S&W man to the core, but when you brought up heavy 300 grain loads, I have to go with the Redhawk.

I would go with the Redhawk but would opt for a minimum of 5" of barrel for a 44 magnum gun. They pack like a 4", but shoot like a 6" in most cases.
