It is a strange cartoonish set up. I like the smaller grip on the Kodiak.
I like the smaller grip, too, even though it might be tougher to shoot. I don't have any Ruger revolvers, but as I am learning (and eelj likely already knows) the Super Redhawk frame extends around the barrel. The Redhawk frame upon which this gun is based does not.
The only 44 I have is a 4" model 29-2 with the original grips. I think this Ruger is a bit heavier than that, so it shouldn't be too much more punishing despite the shorter barrel. But that's coming dangerously close to a reason to buy one just to verify the recoil properties. It's all for science.
