RE: ruger super red hawk or the black hawk SS hunter?
...I think the regular Redhawk would be the best choice... the Super Redhawk is just too big and heavy for my taste. The regular Redhawk with a 5 1/2" barrel is just about right... not too heavy to wear on a belt holster, but substantial enough to make it comfortable to shoot. To me, the perfect hunting hadgun would be the stainless 5 1/2" Redhawk in 45 Colt.... and the double action on a Redhawk is VERY smooth. Single action is pretty good, also.
