To each his own, for sure, but I have two Redhawks in 45 Colt, 4.25 and 5.5" barrels, and cannot picture them as having any sensible purpose in 327 Federal Magnum. As always, I speak for myself.
As far as recoil goes, that has become part of shooting for me, although I don't enjoy a mismatch of gun mass and caliber/load taking the fun out of shooting. I enjoy my fire breather 44 Magnum.
The SW 617 as a 10-shot 22 compared to the Redhawk in 327 is not a fair comparison, because the 22 has roots in competition. The gun has a purpose other than being something we don't own yet, compulsive about buying a specimen of the whole cataloging.
The 8 round, N-frame, 9mm S&W 929 gun is another goofy thing that is for and about competition. Who would carry that? My 9mm revolver is a Charter Arms Pitbull six shooter.
I might change my mind someday, but I prefer a carry revolver to be a six shooter. I will carry a little heavier gun to make that possible. Ironically, my favored carry is a SW 696 with 5 rounds of 44 S&W Special. I never carry an N-frame, so I accept that this medium sized, L-frame platform has its limitations.
With 327 Federal Magnum, I have the near perfect gun in the SP101 6-shot, which I would set aside in a heartbeat, if they came out with a 4" barrel version that was equally nice otherwise. I don't shoot a 3" gun nearly as well.
