I have both guns too...
My 44 Redhawk is a 7-1/2 incher, and will be getting cut to 5.5 inches as soon as funds permit. A spring kit is a necessity, and will make a noticeable improvement in the trigger. However the single-action does need to be addressed with std Redhawks. Ruger really should be building Redhawks on a modified Super Redhawk frame, without the barrel extension. Supers are very tuneable at home. The single actions are a little creepy out of the box, but are a lot better than the std version.
My plan is to keep the Redhawk, and my Mountain Gun (ahem, Mountain Revolver). They both fire the same caliber, but my Redhawk is a lot less fussy about ammo than the 629 is, and handles heavy bullets and loads with a lot more dignity too. My 629 gets a bit sticky with hotter loads, but it is lighter to carry, and will make a great hunting companion.
