I have read that the Redhawk has potential for light primer strikes. This has caused me to consider the Blackhawk over it as a self defense weapon against animals (I live in northern Alaska). I've always liked the ability to fire a weapon just by pulling the trigger, which is one reason that I favor the RH. However, I want the weapon to be absolutely reliable, hence my concern about the RH. I do have experience with an old model Vaquero and with a Ruger Old Army. So I know how to work a SA revolver. I am pretty good with an SA revolver, but can still imagine situations where a DA revolver would be handier (charging animal).
I realize the Super Redhawk does not have this issue. However the Super is just too heavy. The so called Alaskan model is just too short on barrel. I want at least 4" of barrel (but no more than 5.5"). As such I do not want a Super Redhawk.
My question is, is the concern over the mechanics of the Redhawk real or internet rumor? And if they are real, are they so great as to pose a health hazard.
