I personally like the redhawk much better. Not so for the superredhawk tho. The redhawk has different lockwork/design that enables it to have smoother lighter double action pull and is stronger because of heavier frame/cylinder and no sideplate to weaken it.The lockwork of redhawks features 1 spring for both hammer spring and trigger return spring. Usually the redhawk greatly benefits from a good action job as ruger don't believe in overly light triggers in factory form. The S&W has better single action pull. I've worked on all of them over the years.
