I had a Ruger 9.5" 44. Mag Super Red Hawk. I used it for deer hunting in GA. It was stolen, after my house fire in 2009. It shot really well, and I carried it in a bandoleer type holster while walking to and from my tree stands, or when still hunting.
The only thing I didn't particularly like about it, was the trigger guard rubbed against my "birdie finger" knuckle, and was irritating.
If I ever buy another Big Pistol, I will check out a S&W to see if it's trigger guard causes the same issue.
BTW: That Super Red Hawk, took the deer in the picture below. He's proof, that "nookie" will kill you. I had dropped a doe with my rifle, at only 17 yards. As I was getting ready to climb down out of my stand, he came in and was sniffing her. I had already lowered my rifle to the ground, so I used the Ruger, and hit him in the neck. Dropping him on top of the doe. Dragging both nearly 300 yards to a power line clearing, wasn't as fun..lol
