I love to hunt with single actions but put self-defense as a first priority. I carry a Glock G20SF 10mm auto if I'm carrying only a single action, much the same with a bow and handgun combination. The lesser issue of quickly examining the remaining loads in the cylinder and replacing spent cartridges falls to a reversible pawl in my NM Blackhawk customized guns. I too wish the scalloped top strap was standard on the Redhawk and the hump on the Super Redhawk was gone.
