I consider the Redhawk in a proper class by itself, and the perfect companion for a 12.
What a useable package. You are a wise lad.
I find the 3" puts things where they're good, and covers many bases. Perfect with the Ruger, or the Ruger alone. I know it's heavy, but you may become the dominant (remaining) species when day is done.....and that's a good thing.
that's 3" 12ga.
Redhawk nice. Make good rock with handle when empty too.
Just keeps on giving.
