My Super Redhawk felt clumsy & bulky, but I would not hesitate to load 44mag +P through it. I won't exceed Saami spec on any of my S&W's.

Chambers on my Ruger were .432-.433. It was of mediocre accuracy (2- 2.5" @25yds); therefor, it was traded off. I've also had one S&W that wouldn't shoot under 4" at 25 yds, and have others that shoot 2" @ 50yds.

Individual performance varies for both mfg's.
