Captain,

     Do you own both or have shot both with max loads? I own both and have shot both at the extreme ends of loadings. The Redhawk is much bigger in every way for the utmost 10mm could ever achieve. Ruger did right stopping at the GP100 with .357.

I have an S&W Model 610 with a 6.5" barrel. and had a Redhawk in .44 Magnum (sold it). The heavier frame the better it tames the recoil. Steady hands = better shooting. JMHO.

It will take it for sure. I like the challenge though!

Would you rather a revolver be "overengineered" or "underengineered". I tend to lean toward the former. (They'll last longer). Lower recoil, tighter tolerances would lend itself to increased velocites.

Ruger could learn a great deal from this thread.

A 10mm GP100 definitely fits my perception of the use of the cartridge ideally.  Light, handy, easy to carry but with 10mm power.  Sounds perfect for a hunting companion.

While it would be nice to see a Red Hawk chambered in 10mm, I would rather see the Ruger Deer Slayer carbine chambered for the 10mm.  :P

I have been looking for a 10mm carbine, lever guns mostly, but I would buy a deerslayer if it even held a candle to my .44
