I have a GP100 6" stainless. I bought it on a whi, when I was at Four Seasons; leaning on the counter yakking with Jeff about a 22 rifle they were holding for me, saw the Ruger in the case, fell in love. Took it to the range, haven't had as much fun shooting a gun before or since. Actually giggled Yeah, it's a range toy at 6", but WHAT A FREAKING TOY!!! Everybody that sees/hears it wants a closer look, and what's better than having "that gun" that everybody wants to play with?
As far as shootability goes, my fiancee loves it, enjoys shooting 357 out of it more than shooting any other gun in the safe, and that includes her EDC. Both my daughters (13 & 15) shoot it, and shoot it well Anybody that was at the last car shoot (I was the birthday boy with the exploding cake) will probably remember one or the other of them making multiple trips to the line to shoot the gun, and no 38 loads either!
Anyway, I love the gun, clearly my girls do also. Mine is flawless and the balls to shoot!
To your second question, Redhawk vs SuperRedhawk, my answer is purely subjective. I plan on the "Regular" Redhawk for two reasons. First, I just like the look better. Second, since I seriously doubt I will ever be shooting 454 Casull, I see no need to pay the extra money. I won't be hunting with it, and if I ever need to hunt 2 legged animals I likely won't be doing it with a handgun, no matter HOW powerful the ammo it can handle may be.
Whatever you DO buy, buy the gun YOU want
