[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 974350, member: 10"] The SRH is a great revolver but its not a protection handgun by any means. They are WAY to big and heavy to be considered a good choice for defensive work. The key to a good defensive handgun is that you have to have it with you all the time in case you need it. Now, At first you may not mind packing the big SRH around but in time, and this comes from personal experience many years ago, it will become easy to leave it behind because of its size and weight. A MUCH better choice if you want a double action revolver for carrying is the ruger Redhawk model with 4.2" barrel length and Hogue Monogrip. These are big revolvers but MUCH smaller then their SRH siblings. They can be had in 44 Mag or 45 Colt. This is a similar comparision as the 44 to 480 if your a handloader. The old 45 colt will beat the 44 mag by a sizable amount and run hard on the heals of the 480 Ruger. Again, if you seriously think you need protection, look at the shorter barreled ruger Redhawks. MUCH better choice then the SRH for protection purposes. [url=http://www.ruger.com/products/redhawk/models.html]Ruger® Redhawk® Double-Action Revolver Models[/url] [/QUOTE]
