I guess I'm in the minority on the Redhawk. My 4" Redhawk in .45 Colt is one of my favorite revolvers.
No trunions or ponies needed here to carry a Redhawk. It fits just fine in an old S&W N frame duty holster of mine, and I carry it regularly while hiking or hunting.
Is it as light and nimble as a K frame Smith? Of course not, but that wasn't what I was looking for when I bought it. I wanted a revolver that wouldn't come apart, or shoot loose with a few heavy loads, and that's exactly what I got with the Redhawk.
I'll go out on a limb here though and suggest that it really depends on what you want, not what the rest of us here want. If you want a light, nimble revolver, then the Redhawk is probably not what you want. If you want a heavy duty revolver that will handle any sane load you can throw at it, then by all means consider the Redhawk.
